AUTODOGS… ROLL OUT.

Meet Maximus — part German Shepherd, part Hound, and 100% heroic good boy.

At just 1 year old and 66 pounds, Maximus is basically the canine version of an action movie star. He is smart, loyal, brave, and always ready for adventure. Whether he is romping around with other dogs, investigating a squeaky toy like it contains classified information, or proudly standing beside his humans, this boy is ready to transform your life.

And just like every great hero, Maximus has already survived a battle.

He was surrendered to rescue after being attacked by another dog, leaving his former owners unable to cover the medical bills for his injuries. But true to his name, Maximus fought through it all with courage and heart.

Now fully healed, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, he is ready for his next mission: Finding a forever family.

Maximus loves to play with both male and female dogs and has already shown he is a social, playful guy. He instantly bonded with my husband, proving this boy is deeply loyal and eager to connect with his people. He is also discovering toys and the simple joy of finally getting to just be a happy dog again.

Behind the big paws and superhero name is a dog who simply wants love, safety, and someone to stand beside forever.

Some dogs come into your life quietly.

Maximus arrives like a blockbuster movie soundtrack with floppy ears.

Somewhere out there, a family is missing their loyal sidekick, hiking partner, couch protector, and best friend.

Maximus is ready to roll out and find them.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The German Shepherd Dog, known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, is a popular and highly regarded breed worldwide. This breed excels in various roles such as police work, search and rescue, and assistance for individuals with disabilities. German Shepherd Dogs are strong, agile, and confident with a distinctive double coat that can be straight or wavy. Their character is marked by courage, loyalty, and a strong work ethic, making them ideal companions and protectors for families and professionals alike.
