Max

Max has had a rough start to life. At just 2 years old, he has had his fair share of misfortune and has experienced some pretty awful situations.
He was not given the opportunity or space to run or experience the outside world.
Despite all this, Max is an overall happy fellow who continues to put his trust in his humans.
This spirited boy has an abundance of energy. He loves running around the yard playing chase, or entertaining himself with his toys. His absolute favorite is his squeaky toy, which he will push around and pounce on over and over, or he will bring his rope to his humans for a good game of tug of war.
For a good session of mental stimulation, Max enjoys a Kong filled with treats, or simply a plastic bottle with some holes in it, where he can work for his rewards!
Being a typical bully breed, Max loves to chew and play rough with his toys, so he will need strong and sturdy ones that can withstand his high energy nature.
To help Max understand when it’s time to settle, his current foster carers have crate trained him - allowing him a designated space to associate with relaxation, safety and comfort.
Just like a cheeky toddler, Max can sometimes fight the need to have some down time (letting you know with his bark), however having his crate has been a great way to teach him it is okay to rest. He will often take himself to his crate now during the day to take a nap or he is allowed some outside time to settle himself.
Above everything else, Max adores his humans. He is a complete Velcro dog who will follow you around everywhere, and want to be involved in everything you do.
Cuddles for him means sitting in your lap 🤭 and he will accept all the love and attention that is on offer.
This gorgeous boy can become quite anxious with sudden movements and being around any yelling, so he will need a household that is calm and considerate to ensure he is kept as stress free as possible.
Max is looking for a home with human companions that can offer him patience, compassion, understanding and experience. He will thrive in an environment that can give him stability, security and routine - somewhere he can learn that his basic needs will be met, and he won’t go forgotten or unwanted.
He will also need continued training walking on lead, as he currently can become overstimulated from all the activity that the outside world has to offer, which leads him to pull. His foster carers are working with him using a halter to assist in correcting his leash manners.
