Max is an 8-year-old Sheltie mix with a heart full of love and a calm, affectionate nature. He came to rescue as an owner release and has shown nothing but kindness to everyone he meets—human or canine. He’s housebroken, gentle, and past the puppy chaos phase, making him the perfect low-key companion. A secure fenced yard is required, and local placement only.
Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Companion
🐾 Age: 8 years
🐕 Outgoing and not “sheltie-shy”—loves people, kids, and other dogs
🐱 Likely cat-friendly (we’re happy to test introductions)
🦴 Enjoys short, lazy walks and playing fetch
🚗 Loves car rides and catching treats midair like a pro
🛏️ Couch cuddler who uses dog stairs to chill by your side or sleep on the bed
💗 Offers gentle ankle licks to politely ask for affection or attention
🚽 Fully housebroken—no accidents, no marking
🍦 Big fan of pup cups and peaceful hangouts
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A secure, fenced yard (required)
✔️ A loving home with other affectionate pets or kids
✔️ A calm lifestyle with monitored activity (due to a minor heart arrhythmia)
✔️ A family who values snuggles, chill time, and soft-hearted companionship
✔️ Local placement only
Max is the kind of dog who quietly becomes your whole heart. He’s gentle, loving, well-mannered, and loyal—everything you could want in a calm, devoted companion. If you’re looking for a best friend to share pup cups, couch cuddles, and soft little ankle kisses, Max is your guy. Give him the forever home he’s been waiting for—you’ll be glad you did.
