Meet Maxim!

Maxim is a handsome tricolored puppy with big paws and an even bigger heart. With his sturdy build and oversized feet, we expect him to grow into a medium-to-large-sized dog.

Maxim is the more easygoing and laid-back sibling. While he enjoys playing and wrestling with his sister, Opal, he's generally happy to let her take charge. His sweet, submissive nature makes him a very easy puppy to love. Maxim enjoys toys, loves treats, and is a great eater, which should make training a rewarding experience.

Despite being a young puppy, Maxim has already shown what a calm and well-mannered companion he can be. He does well in his crate and pen and was quiet and well-behaved at his first adoption event. At home, he's content to play, nap, and spend time with his people.

Maxim is a gentle, good-natured pup who would thrive in a loving family. He would especially enjoy a home with older children who can keep up with him as he grows into the big, loyal companion he's destined to become.
