Hi, I’m Maxwell. Most people call me Max or Maxy though, and my foster family has nicknamed me Goob (short for Goober). I was almost euthanized in the shelter because I wasn’t feeling great and wouldn’t walk, but then the nice girls at BBAR found a foster for me and gave me a second chance. At first they thought I was a hospice foster and only had a few months to live - boy did I show them they were wrong! I went through some testing and it was confirmed that I do have hepatozoonosis (a super rare tick-borne disease) - unfortunately I’ll have it the rest of my life. But that doesn’t stop me from living! With a simple anti inflammatory regime, joint supplement food, and a patient & loving foster family that keeps me active at my pace - I actually went into remission! I feel great most days and enjoy being active, but do have an occasional flare up that makes me a little stiff & achy.
I LOVE kids & ‘my people’ - I’ve learned to LOVE walkies - I LOVE a snuggly couch with blankets - and who wouldn’t LOVE treats?! I know how to sit, give paw, come when called, and go in my crate when it’s time. I’m super smart, super sweet, super goofy, and a super good boy. Oh, and I’m potty trained! My mom says that I’m “dog friendly” with the right dog. I wouldn’t do well in a dog park (too overwhelming & scary), but I do really like to say hi to new friends on walks. I’d need a little bit of patience & time to feel safe in a home with another dog. My foster brother is submissive, chill & respects my boundaries when I’m not feeling well or just don’t want to play - and we get along GREAT (he’s my BFF ).
I am fully vetted, AKA I've had my yearly vaccines, monthly prevention, and have been neutered and microchipped. I also completed my heartworm treatment. If you’re looking for a goofy, smiley dog that’s low maintenance and enjoys slow walks, thrives on couch snuggles, loves his person, and is an all-around good boy - we might be a good match.
