About Max
Introducing Max, he might seem a bit reserved initially around strangers, once Max feels secure in your presence, his playful and vibrant personality emerges, revealing a companion who is affectionate and deeply loyal.
Max can be a bit sensitive around the head and will need gentle handling and a slightly slower approach when he first meets you so you don’t freak him out. Once your friends he doesn’t mind being touched on the head at all.
Max thrives on outdoor adventures, and he's the perfect partner for an active family. His social nature shines when he interacts with other dogs, as he is both playful and friendly, making him an excellent companion for households with existing canine family members. He has clashed with some male dogs. He would be better suited to living with a female dog or a male who matches well with him.
He is untested with cats.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for August
Sat 9th 9:00am- 12:00pm

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
