Meet Maximus!
Maximus is a spirited two-year-old American Pitbull Terrier with a tan and white coat. He's a vibrant blend of loyalty, goofiness, and heartfelt snuggles, making him the ultimate companion for anyone seeking both an adventure partner and a cozy couch snuggler! Maximus is an all-star with toys, especially squeaky ones, approaching each new plaything like a joyful puzzle.

No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Maximus is crate trained, house trained, and knows basic commands like "sit." He is currently working on polishing other commands through positive reinforcement. He experiences separation anxiety when left alone but will go into his crate, he just prefers when his people are close. Maximus is a sensitive and affectionate boy who flourishes with structure, routine, and lots of human connection. His guardian has worked with a trainer for the past month to address reactivity and protectiveness towards other dogs, but the behavior has not resolved. A guardian who can provide him with consistent enrichment, patient guidance, and lots of affection is needed.
