Max's Story

● 11 years, 15lbs<br/>● Rescued in Texas after his last owner passed away<br/><br/>💙 Foster Note<br/>Max (called Maxie) is a confident little king who marches to the beat of his own drums. In the midst of absolute chaos (ie, tristate public transit), he remains a calm, vigilant observer. It takes a lot to really rattle little Max; in fact we haven’t figured out what it would take to be considered more than an inconvenience (right now, baths are the leading thing he dislikes, but even those he tolerates with just a few extra body shakes).<br/><br/>His absolute favorite thing to do is go on walks. So it’s a good thing he’s such a good walker with no observed reactivity. His foster would rate his energy level as low to moderate. <br/><br/>After a nice walk, he becomes an independent Velcro dog. He will move from pet bed to pet bed while following you from room to room, because a real leader needs to supervise their servants. He enjoys napping by your side with occasional pets. While he won’t climb directly into your lap (that’s too undignified), he wants to be near you and know where you are. If you want to cuddle him, he will tolerate it (and quietly enjoy it).<br/><br/>Since the world is his domain, very little seems to bother Max. He does well with dogs of all sizes. He can occasionally be a bit possessive of his humans and his food when with other dogs (mostly at home, doesn’t seem to care when outside the home), but can be redirected. Luckily, he doesn’t seem to care if other dogs are snippy towards him, simply ignoring them like the calm king he is. If his future home has other dogs, he would benefit from some human servants who know how to set boundaries. <br/><br/>He hasn’t met any cats or children at his current foster home, but it’s suspected he would be just as unphased by their presence. He has been unreactive to older children he’s met in the wild. However, he would likely do best with somewhat older children as he can be a little bundle of muscle when he gets excited and jumps around. <br/><br/>Max is fully potty trained and hasn’t had any accidents in the house after he settled in. He isn’t a huge fan of the crate but will stoically tolerate it if you insist. He’d much prefer to laze quietly on a pet bed though. He also knows “sit.” He may know other commands, but his foster hasn’t figured them out (but that seems like more of a human user issue).<br/> <br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Max, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt.truenorthrescue@gmail.com to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE. IF THIS LISTING IS UP, THE DOG IS NOT ADOPTED YET.<br/><br/>Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
