Max is a 2.5-year-old Shepherd who arrived as a stray on July 10, 2025. He weighs somewhere near the top of the 36–75 lb range—but with his tall frame, he’s actually a bit underweight under that handsome black-and-tan coat. The shelter is helping him fill out, but what’s already bursting is his heart. Nicknamed after the Grinch’s beloved pup because of his oversized “Grinch feet,” Max is a joyful, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to lean into you and love.
