Max is a 1 year old male Standard Poodle mix who weighs in at 75 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $500. If you are still interested, please read more below.

This big, beautiful boy is the definition of “gentle giant.” He’s incredibly chill and easygoing — the kind of dog who’s happy just being wherever you are. He loves affection but he’s never pushy or in-your-face about it; he’ll lean in for pets and then settle right back down. With his people, he’s playful and fun-loving. Around strangers, he’s relaxed and likes to take his time getting to know someone before showing his silly side — but don’t mistake this for aloofness, because he’s genuinely friendly and happily accepts pets from anyone.

He’s great with other dogs, great with cats, and great with people of all ages. He’s cuddly, sweet, house and crate trained, and just an all-around calm, well-behaved companion.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving dog who gets along with basically everyone (two-legged or four), this pup might be your guy.

This pup is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
