Meet Max, a 1-year-old, 65-pound Jindo/Mastiff mix fostered in Dublin, California. Rescued from a slaughterhouse through an international rescue program, Max has made tremendous progress and is looking for a patient, understanding home.

Max may be shy or shut down in a new environment, but with patience he typically begins opening up within 2–3 days. Once comfortable, he is a loving cuddle bug who enjoys being close to his people. He is also food-motivated and can be won over with treats and patience.

Ideal Home

Max is selective with other dogs and has not been tested with cats. He is best suited to a home with children age 16 and older. His adopter should be savvy, patient, and willing to give him time to adjust.

Ongoing Health

No medical conditions or health testing were reported.
