Max

Max is an irresistibly handsome and incredibly soft boy whose tail is always wagging, expecting pets from everyone he meets. This sweetie adores belly rubs and knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw," with "stay" and "down" currently in progress. Max is housebroken, listens well when corrected, knows his name, and comes when called. He's also great on a leash, making walks in the neighborhood an enjoyable adventure, and is a good car rider, happily sticking his head out the window.

As a Great Pyrenees, Max possesses a gentle and calm demeanor, though as a young dog, he has an enthusiastic energy level. This breed is known for its thick, protective double coat, which requires moderate grooming to keep it healthy and manage its heavy, seasonal shedding. Great Pyrenees are intelligent and loyal, often forming strong bonds with their families. Max is excellent with other dogs, enjoying parallel runs or games of chase, and he reads social cues well.

Max is described as a "teenager" by his foster, meaning he's still learning boundaries but is very trainable with treats. He will thrive in a home with a secure, six-foot-tall fence due to his size and jumping ability. Max currently sleeps next to his foster's bed, as he is overcoming some separation anxiety and does not like the crate. A patient and understanding family who can provide a safe, secure environment will help ease his anxiety, offering him a wonderful playmate, snuggle buddy, and loyal companion.
