Max's Story

We cannot guarantee the breed of any animal in our care and the breed listed is simply our best guess based on observation. <br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting or having a one on one meet and greet, fill out an application by visiting safepawsia.org.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $300<br/><br/>GOOD WITH CATS: Yes, but would recommend a dog savvy cat<br/><br/>GOOD WITH DOGS: Yes<br/><br/>GOOD WITH KIDS: Yes (friendly but kids 10+ recommended)<br/><br/>KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit<br/><br/>KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING: It's a work in progress<br/><br/>KNOWN KENNELING: Kennels but whines and/or barks until settling down<br/><br/>KNOWN LEASH: Needs leash work<br/><br/>KNOWN LIKES: Peanut butter in a Kong, being outside, being the center of attention.<br/><br/>KNOWN DISLIKES: Snow, wearing belly bands, being kenneled <br/><br/>FROM THE FOSTER: Max/Maui is a resilient, affectionate boy who has overcome severe neglect and is now thriving in foster care. At about 70 lbs (and still gaining to a healthy weight), he thinks he's a lap dog and loves being right in your bubble. He knows how to sit, is working on potty training, and gets along with dogs.<br/><br/>He really wants to be friends with cats, so a dog-savvy cat would be best. Because he doesn't realize his strength, a home with kids 10+ is recommended.<br/><br/>He is still learning how to just be a dog - how to relax, play appropriately, and trust that he's safe. Currently on strict rest due to heartworm treatment, he will be a very active boy once he's healed. He needs continued structure, patience, lots of love, and in return, he'll give you his whole heart.
