Meet Max, a sweet 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a gentle spirit. Max can be a little shy when first meeting new people, a remnant of his past living mostly outdoors. However, with a kind and patient approach, he quickly warms up and reveals his loving personality. He arrived in rescue after his owner passed away, and with dedicated tender loving care, he has made remarkable progress in building his confidence and trusting nature.
Once comfortable, Max truly shines! He loves to show off his talents, especially running around the play yard and chasing his favorite ball to burn off that characteristic Border Collie energy. This intelligent boy is eager to please and thrives on activity. He gets along well with other dogs and is also good with children, making him a wonderful companion for an active family. While he's still building confidence and benefiting from continued socialization, he's becoming more trusting and playful every day.
Max is looking for a calm, patient, and loving home where he can continue to blossom. All house, crate, and leash training are in progress, and with a little structure and consistency, he is sure to thrive. If you're searching for a loyal, sweet, and playful dog who just needs to experience unconditional love, Max is ready to be your devoted companion. He promises to fill your home with joy and playful antics!
