Hi, I’m
MAXX!
Hello there! Are you looking for your new best friend? Well I’m looking for my furever family, so let’s do a meet & greet and see if we would be a good fit for each other! I’ve lived with a family for my whole life, so Project POOCH knows that I’m potty trained, I do well with kids, and I do well with cats. I’m also showing that I am pretty neutral to other dogs.
More about MAXX
I’m at Project POOCH because the circumstances of my family changed. I’m a very good boy and I’m looking to get back into a home as soon as possible. I’m very smart and have learned a few of my basic cues already including sit and down. I walk well on a loose leash and am very neutral to cats so I would do fine in a home with cats. I lived in a home with kids and do well with them. As I am a herding breed, it might be better for me to be in a house with kids who are over the age of 8, but it really depends on the demeanor of the child.
I LOVE to chase balls and if you are willing to throw one for me we would be best friends immediately! I like to hang out with people and love a good snuggle. I enjoy pools and playing in water (something to keep in mind for next summer!).
I will need regular grooming as I have the type of coat that needs brushing or else I will get matted. You can learn to brush me at home and keep the professional grooming to every 3–4 months, or take me to a professional groomer every 6–8 weeks to keep my coat in tip-top shape.
I promise that I will be the best boy and your best friend forever!
