My Name Is *MAXIMUS!
Maximus is a distinguished older gentleman who carries himself with grace, wisdom, and a heart full of love. An owner surrender with an exemplary history, he comes with the ultimate family resume: he is easygoing, active, friendly, has successfully lived with children of all ages, and got along wonderfully with both a large dog and a small dog. He is also fully house-trained and already knows how to use a doggie door to take care of his business!
At the shelter, Maximus can be a little shy upon his very first meeting and appreciates a soft, slow approach. However, don't let his initial modesty fool you—he warms up incredibly quickly and turns into a total lovebug who actively seeks out affection and loves receiving gentle pets. He is an exceptionally smart boy who is highly attuned to his handlers, already knowing hand signals for both "sit" and "lay down." On his walks, he is a true professional, remaining completely calm and non-reactive when other dogs pass by.
Because he is transitioning from a lifetime of home comforts, Maximus is looking for a patient family that understands the importance of a dedicated decompression period. If you are looking for a loyal, intelligent, and well-adjusted companion to spend his golden years by your side, come and meet Maximus today. Ask staff about the foster field trip and foster programs as a wonderful way to let this sweet senior relax in a home setting.
