Max is a 6-year-old, 71 lb Akita/Husky mix with one striking blue eye and a gentle soul. He's neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and fully house-trained, having not had a single accident in his foster home. Max truly loves life; he's a beautiful, intelligent dog who is obedient, eager to learn, and very in tune with the people around him. He already knows most commands and is a quick learner who enjoys working with his handler. Max builds strong bonds with people when he's given a little time and space to get to know them. Once he feels safe, his calm and happy personality really shines. He loves walks, exploring new places, and going on car rides. Max also has a sweet, playful side and enjoys carrying around his favorite toys, especially his duck, avocado, and little mouse. Max was dumped at a kill shelter in NY and was quickly placed on the euthanasia list. He was very frightened at the shelter and didn't want to go on walks. If someone offered him a treat, he would gently take it, drop it, and only eat it once the person stepped away. It was clear he wanted to trust but needed to feel safe. When Max arrived at his foster home, he showed signs of trust right away, taking a treat from his foster's hand immediately, and his foster could tell that his trust would continue to grow with time. In just over a week, Max began to settle in and feel much more comfortable. Now he is calm, happy, and enjoys being around people.
