MAX - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in St. Louis, Missouri

Meet Max! This handsome three-year-old is 52 pounds of good looks, personality and ready-for-anything energy. With his classic black-and-white coat, expressive face and those wonderfully mismatched ears, Max has a look all his own. At three years old, Max is right in that sweet spot—young enough to be up for walks, playtime and adventures, but past the puppy stage. He'd love to find someone who will make him part of the action and give him all the love and attention a good boy deserves. Max has been waiting at the Humane Society of Missouri's Maryland Heights shelter since August 6. He's ready to put shelter life behind him and start his next chapter. Come meet Max and see if your home is the one he's been waiting for!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
