Max

Max is a 2-year-old Pitbull/Hound mix and such a friendly, loving dog! Weighing in at 65 pounds, he wakes up as a ball of energy every morning and is always ready to play outside. Once 7 PM rolls around, he's out like a light and looking for belly rubs and cuddle time.This large, playful boy is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and incredibly well-mannered in the home. He can even be trusted out of the kennel during the day and rarely barks. He already knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and is working on "shake."Max is the perfect mix of active and affectionate. He starts his mornings full of energy, ready for walks, runs, or playtime (he especially loves durable squeaky toys!). Max will require a home with a fenced yard where he can burn off his energy in addition to daily walks. He's been doing 1-2 walks daily around 1-3 miles with a few runs mixed in. By evening, he's all about winding down and soaking in belly rubs. Max is a little nervous at first with other dogs, so slow introductions have worked great. He also does very well with children (ages 4 and 14) but does not have experience with cats.Max is ready to find his forever home, one where he can keep being his happy, playful self and end every day curled up next to his favorite humans.If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will keep you active and then cuddle up by your side, Max might be your perfect match!If you are interested in Max, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
