Max's Story

Age: 3 Years<br/>Weight: 55 lbs.<br/>Good with dogs: Yes<br/>Good with cats: No<br/>Good with kids: Yes - Older due to size<br/>Energy Level: Med <br/><br/>Available for Adoption: 2/7/2026- Applications need to be approved before a meet and greet will be set up for any Fetching Hearts Rescue dogs.<br/><br/>Meet Max — a gentle soul who’s been through far more than he ever deserved ❤️<br/><br/>Max is a 3‑year‑old, 55‑lb sweetheart with a heart so big it almost spills out of him. He’s the perfect blend of laid‑back and playful: a mellow, easygoing boy who loves to lounge, cuddle, and soak up every bit of affection… yet he still lights up when you hand him a toy or invite him to play. He’s low‑maintenance, loving, and endlessly grateful for every kind moment he’s given.<br/><br/>Max’s story is a heartbreaking one. He was surrendered to the shelter to be euthanized — not because he did anything wrong, but simply because his previous owners could no longer care for him. Through all of that confusion and fear, Max never stopped being gentle. Never stopped being sweet. Never stopped offering love to anyone willing to give him a chance. He’s been nothing but a total love bug since the moment he arrived.<br/><br/>This boy deserves a soft place to land. A family who will cherish him, include him, and let him finally feel safe. Max would be the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal friend to curl up with on cold days, relax with on quiet evenings, and still enjoy a little playtime here and there. He adores his toys, loves being near his people, and has a warmth about him that fills a home.<br/><br/>Max has a huge heart — one that’s been waiting far too long for someone to hold it gently.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who will love you with everything he has, Max is ready. He just needs someone to choose him.<br/><br/>If interested in Max, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at Info.FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.<br/><br/>Unless otherwise indicated, all dogs adopted through Fetching Hearts have received the following before being available for adoption:<br/><br/>Thorough veterinary examination.<br/>All routine annual vaccinations, including<br/>Rabies, DHLPP<br/>Bordetella (Kennel Cough)<br/>Heartworm Test<br/>Fecal Test, Deworming<br/>Microchip<br/>Flea and Tick Prevention<br/>Heartworm Prevention.<br/>Spay/Neuter<br/>All dogs are quarantined for two weeks outside of the shelter (puppies four weeks) to ensure they don't break with disease.<br/><br/>VETTING NOTE: Fetching Hearts Rescue completely vets our dogs thoroughly to the best of our knowledge based on communication with our Southern Vets.

Fetching Hearts Rescue's Adoption Policy
Apply for any of our dogs: https://www.fetchingheartsrescue.org/adoption-form-online Our team of screeners will process you application once received. This process typically takes a couple days to a week. Once processed, you will hear back from one of our team members regarding your approval status & next steps. The next steps typically involve scheduling a meet and greet if the dog is already in the state, or informing you of the transport process, date & what to expect. If all goes well during your meet & greet you will be able to take home your new family member. All meet and greets are held with the intention of adoption, but only if you and the foster agree that the dog is a good match for you and your family. We ask that you come to the meet and greet or transport day with a leash, collar, name tag (even with just your information on it, if you don't know a name yet), water, a few biscuits, and maybe a blanket or bed for the car ride home. If your dog has any special food, toys, a bed etc., the foster or volunteer will provide these to you. They will also have the dog's medical records and will review these with you before handing them off.
