Meet Max! Max was rescued from a dog-slaughterhouse in Korea, with 20 other littermates and cohort puppies. Some of the other puppies are turning into giant 100-lb biggies, but he is done growing at around 65 – 70 lbs! Max is super-food motivated, smart, and curious. He is house trained, great in the car, and knows how to use the doggie door. He has lived with cats and dogs, and loves to play.
We don’t know exactly what Max’s early life was like, but he experienced some trauma. As a result, he can sometimes be cautious and wary of new situations. With a little time—about a week in his new home—he will start to feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Max has a sweet, loving nature and will bring joy to the right family who gives him patience and care.
Max would thrive with a family or person who understands that this sweet, loving, happy guy will need a minute to adjust to new situations. Someone who will be willing to put some time into socialization and training. Someone with a yard, or at least a patio where he can potty for the first week until he feels safe with his new people.
We are looking for a home that understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog. Max will thrive in a home that will give him the time he needs to open up and continue training and showing him what it means to be in a home. Max is patiently waiting!
