Meet Maximus, an 8-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix from Greeley, Colorado, who spent most of his life as a yard dog. Now, he’s hoping to settle into a real home for his golden years. In the kennel, he can appear sad or shut down, but once he’s outside, he comes alive — playful, goofy, and deeply affectionate.

Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Giant
🐾 Playful and goofy once he feels safe
🐾 Affectionate and loving, loves cuddles
🐾 Enjoys calm walks and yard play, especially in cooler weather
🐾 Big, loyal, and devoted — a true companion
🐾 Unique nose from a past dog attack; selective with dog friends

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, patient adopter to give him one-on-one love
✔️ Slow introductions if there’s another dog in the home
✔️ Someone to help him learn to tolerate grooming and brushing
✔️ A forever home where he can live out his golden years in comfort and love

Maximus is a big, gentle soul who has been overlooked for far too long. He thrives one-on-one and is ready to give his whole heart to the right family. Meet Maximus and adopt him to bring home a loyal companion who will fill your life with love, laughter, and companionship.
