My story

Meet Max, a big, resilient sweetheart who has truly mastered the art of "keep on rolling." Found in Eastern Kentucky after a rough start, Max has fully healed from a paw injury and is officially ready to find his person!Max is a lovable, "lumbering" guy who is surprisingly gracefulexcept for when he was wearing his recovery cone. In a hilarious display of his easygoing nature, Max didn't care one bit about the "head lamp"; hed just bump into things and keep right on walking! Hes a total "talker" who loves to have conversations with his humans, and hes looking for a family who will talk back and remind him hes safe and loved.Maxs Favorite Things:Company: Hed love a friend to hang out with, whether thats another dog or a kid.Comfort: Hes a professional napper who loves couches, beds, and chairs.Good Manners: He already knows "sit" and basic commands. While hes big, he prefers to politely "climb" into the car or onto the bed rather than jumping.Max isn't necessarily a clingy cuddler, but he deeply enjoys being loved on and staying near his people. He is a truly "good boy" who has moved past his tough beginnings with a wagging tail.Could your home be Max's forever landing spot? Name: Max (20260426-01)Age: 1.5 yo (Est.
