HAPPY, FRIENDLY, AND ENGAGING

Max is a sweet Fox Red Labrador Retriever who is ready for his retirement years in a joyful home. He has shared his life with mature individuals as well as another smaller dog. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, Max needs a new space to call home. He is fun and spunky on leash with a jaunty walk and big ol’ smile. Very smart, he’ll charm his way to earn a treat or two if given the chance. Max has enjoyed plenty of time at local dog daycares, where he has lots of friends, both human and canine. He comes from a regal line of hunting dogs, yet Max is a gentleman. He enjoys a pampered life as opposed to hitting the fields and forests. But he is not lazy. He is experienced!
I AM REALLY GOOD AT: making new friends, especially people who are nice to me. I’ve experienced a lot in life and I’m not slowing down. Happy to ‘toot my own horn’…I’m a cool guy!
I AM AT MY BEST WHEN: I get to have lots of fun on walks and playtime, then I can rest.
I DON’T REALLY LOVE: water getting in my ears.
I NEED SOME HELP WITH: keeping my good manners. I’ve taken a lot of classes and can show you how I am a really good boy. …buuuuuuut…sometimes I get excited to greet people and forget to keep my paws on the ground. Hoping to find a patient parent to help me retain some structure.
WHAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT ME: Okay, so I might be tiptoeing into my senior years, but I’m not ready to slow down just yet. I love to explore and engage with my people. I am not the retiree who wants to sit and knit. I’m the kind of retiree who wants to explore and focus on my favorite activities. Let’s do that together!
