About Maximus 33693 Campbelltown ACF
Hi! My name is Maximus. I came into the facility as a stray and sadly no one came to collect me. I am a special boy and am in need of a special family. It appears I have not had the easiest start to life, and am in need of a compassionate and loving family to guide me in the right direction. While I have responded to certain loud noises at the facility, my carers often struggle gaining my attention through sound and suspect I may have some issues with my hearing. While I do my best to be the best boy I can be, I am still in need of some more practice on my basic commands.
I often like to use my mouth to explore the world through nibbling, particularly if I am wanting attention from my carers, and I am still learning that this is not appropriate behaviour. I have shown good manners on the lead during my walks and I am highly toy driven - I love to tug-a-war with my carers. My ideal home will be with an owner that has experience with dogs with quirky behaviours like myself. I would do best in an adult-only home while I work on my training. While I am okay going for walkies with other dogs, I would be best living in a home as an only dog. If you think you are the right home for me, come check me out.

Adoption payment can only be made in person at the Animal Care Facility. We do not do adoptions or payments over the phone and require all potential adopters to complete a successful meet and greet with the animal prior to adopting. For dog adoptions, if a dog is to be housed with another dog after adoption a meet and greet between the two dogs must be conducted to ensure they are a suitable match.
When you have selected a pet, you will need to complete an expression of interest form which can be found on the animals profile on our website here:
https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/AnimalsandPets/AnimalsForAdoption If you are a suitable fit for the animal chosen, a staff member will contact you to organise a time for a meet and greet. Following a successful meet and greet with the animal, we can finalise the adoption paperwork and payment. Dogs and cats are booked into Council's contracted vet for the animal to be desexed typically the next business day. We will transport your new pet to our vet for desexing in the morning. The new owner is to collect the animal from the vets in the afternoon.
Please note that this adoption profile may not be the most up-to-date information available, due to the constant movement of animals into and out of the facility. Please check our council website for the most up to date information:
