About Max

Max is a sweet, friendly, and affectionate 4-year-old boy weighing around 40 lbs. He has a huge heart and a deeply resilient spirit. Max found himself homeless in Puerto Rico after being abandoned with his two brothers. Despite a difficult start where he was malnourished, underweight, thirsty, and afraid, he has proven to be a survivor and is ready for a true fresh start with a loving family. Max is a people-oriented dog who thrives on human connection and love. He quickly made friends with his foster family's alpha dog and has been a dream since day one. He is incredibly friendly and loves puppies, cats, other dogs, and all people. Max is also highly intelligent and a fast learner, already knowing basic obedience commands, which makes him a joy to walk and interact with. He is highly food-motivated and trained to sit politely for meals or treats. Max has so much love to give and cannot wait to find a devoted forever family to shower with affection, loyalty, and endless companionship.
