Maximus's Story

Looking for somebody to make you happy? To accompany you on strolls through the forest preserve? Hang out by the fire with? Maybe just a little Netflix and cuddles? LOOK NO FURTHER... I’m Maximus, Max for short, I am around 5 years old, and don't let my big ol head fool you because I am only 65 lbs. I enjoy going on adventures just as much as I love a good netflix and cuddle-- so far my favorite out door adventure is SWIMMING, or walking through the forest preserve (and the CAR R-I-D-E to get there)!! Words used to describe me are sweet, handsome, loving, smart, mama’s boy, chill, laid back, so wittle wif a big head, and I aim to please. I have been learning lots of things in my new life like problem solving, door manners, walking nice on the leash and my foster parents gave me buttons to communicate my needs (or wants). I know "eat", "water", "outside", "cuddles" and "help" I have attended Obedience & Manners classes. I still don't know my own strength (or jump height) so would do best around older kids. I do not like to share my home or space with other animals. I like to be the King of my own home and just don't prefer the companionship of another dog. I also do not like cats. *I am still able to go for walks and enjoy the great outdoors I just need someone to make sure I have my space especially when passing other dogs.* Think we could be the perfect match? Fill out an adoption application so we can meet!! https://www.commonground-crn.org/adopt-a-life/ Common Ground Community Rescue Network provides an adoption agreement, full medical disclosure and all vetting records we have since intake. We ask that our adopters be located within 30 minutes of Antioch, Des Plaines or Elgin, IL. All pets are fully vetted, up-to-date on core vaccines, altered and microchipped.
