Meet Max
11 Months Old Female Spayed Approximately 20 lbs (9 kg)
Max is a playful and affectionate young dog looking for her forever home. She is the sister of Mix, and the two girls share a special bond. While they have grown up together, Max is ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a loving family who will cherish her.
Max's journey began at a municipal shelter in Korea, where she arrived with her sister, Mix, and their mother, Eun-chong. At the time, the shelter practiced euthanasia, and the entire family was at risk. Thankfully, they were rescued and given a second chance.
Max is a curious, playful, and social girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings, playing with toys, and spending time with her favorite people. She has a moderate energy level and enjoys activity, making her a great companion for walks, playtime, and daily adventures.
Like many young dogs, Max can be a little cautious in new situations, but she responds well to patience and positive experiences. Once she feels comfortable, she is affectionate and enjoys attention. She does well with other dogs and approaches them with friendly curiosity.
Max has a bright personality and a gentle heart. After a difficult start, she is ready to find the family who will give her the love, guidance, and forever home she deserves.
Adoption fee $525
### Please Note###
*Mix is currently living in a foster home in Korea. Once she is adopted, she will be transported to the U.S. Because of this, we are unable to arrange in-person meet-and-greets. We are happy to provide detailed information, photos, and videos to help you get to know her.
* We do not recommend leaving dogs alone for more than 4 hours. If you expect to be away longer, we strongly encourage doggy daycare or another appropriate care option.
* We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old.
* Applicants must be at least 25 years old and live within a 45-minute driving distance of Springfield, Virginia (Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC suburbs only).
* A home check is required before adoption.
* Applicants must have a social media account so we can receive post-adoption updates. We monitor all adopted pets to ensure they continue to thrive.
* Once your application is approved, we will request a copy of your identification through a secure app and/or complete a background screening.

Many of our rescue dogs had very little socialization before entering our program. As a result, skills such as house training, leash walking, and adjusting to family life may take a little extra time. Patience, understanding, and gentle guidance are essential. The good news is that most of our dogs adapt remarkably well, and helping them blossom into confident family companions is an incredibly rewarding experience.
*** About us ***
Hope For Donghae Paws(HDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to bringing rescue dogs from Korea to the US and finding permanent homes for them. It is true there are many animal lovers in Korea, but still many dogs suffer and are killed for food.
Our mission is to find US homes for mixed-breed dogs whose chances of being adopted in their native Korea are very low.
