More about Maxwell May 22

Date into Rescue: 5/31/2022 Reason for being in rescue: Maxwell was picked up as a stray while attempting to gain entry into a business. Do you think he was looking for a job maybe! As he was microchipped, his original owner, now living in Arizona, was contacted.  She rescued him as a puppy and had him vetted and found a home but sadly has lost track with the owner. So, Maxwell is now looking for a new home. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? None noted except a real desire to be loved and cared for Weight: 95 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? Yes What kind of home would be best for me? Maxwell loves to explore! He is looking for an  active family that wants to include him in their adventures. He has done well with dogs, large  and small, here at the rescue. He could be an only dog but would do well with another dog to pal around with. An experienced dog owner that’s home more than away would be best for this  active explorer.  What is my personality like? Maxwell is a typical gregarious, happy, laid back labrador retriever.  Maxwell has been very calm with people and dogs. He gets along well with everything.  He is eager to get out of the kennel and explore - we suspect this is how he ended up getting away from his home. Maxwell gets very excited about vehicles. He’s ready to load up and go!  Maxwell is a energetic happy boy that is looking for a running partner. He loves to run and boy is he good at it. He would enjoy it if his human companion shared his interest in running or hiking. He sleeps in a crate here at the rescue and does well with keeping it clean. It’s recommended he have one in the home as he does enjoy having a place to retreat to for a mid day nap. He has several buddies he loves to romp around with and would enjoy dog parks or going to doggy day care once he adjust to his new family and environment. Maxwell could also have another large dog in the home to play with but it is not a requirement. He is a little shy when you first meet him but warms up quickly with some treats! This boy is highly food motivated and would do great with positive reinforcement training. He enjoys puzzle toys and lick mats as well. Maxwell is such a sweetheart once you get to know him. How do I act when I first meet new people?  Maxwell has been calm and welcoming to every person that he’s met. He can be timid at first, but warms up very quickly with treats. Other tips and tidbits: Maxwell is estimated at 4 years old. We celebrate his birthday as 09/29/2018. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
