Introducing Max!
Playful Curious Shy Snuggly
Hi, I’m Max! I’m a playful, curious, and sweet Great Dane who loves being part of the family. While I might be a little shy at first—especially around men with hats—once I feel comfortable, I’ll become your loyal and loving companion. My zoomies are pretty legendary, and I promise to fill your days with joy and laughter!
I thrive on being included in everything my family does, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or adventures. I’ve lived with children before and did great with them, though I’m not currently in a home with kids. I get along well with other dogs and tend to be submissive and curious around them. Cats? Well, I’ve been a little scared of them in the past, so I’d need careful introductions if my forever home has feline friends.
What I Love:
- Playtime and running around (zoomies included!).
- Snuggling with my people—it’s the best!
- Car rides and exploring new places.
- Elk antlers and playing with balls.
- Being involved in all family activities.
What I Dislike:
- Rushed introductions. I need a little time to feel comfortable, especially around men with hats.
I’m housebroken and crate-trained. I have handled being crated for 8+ hours as needed while my foster family is at work. In my previous home, I did well with free roam too. I already know commands like sit, come, and down, and I’m working on learning shake. I’m also improving my leash manners and getting used to having my legs and paws touched. With positive reinforcement and some patience, I’ll continue to shine.
I’m in great health with no concerns—ready to join my forever family!
My Forever Home Wish List:
- Yard: A midsize to large yard where I can play and zoom around would be amazing. A physical fence isn’t required but would help keep me safe.
- Companionship: I’d love a home with another dog as a companion and playmate.
- Family: A family willing to continue my training and be patient during introductions would be the perfect fit.
If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and adventurous addition to your family, I’m your guy. Let’s make some amazing memories together—I can’t wait to meet you!
