Psst… hi! Max here.

I'm sharp as a tack — give me a job and I'll make you look like a genius.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I've been holding down the fort in Pasadena, hoping someone like you would wander by.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

With a little luck, Thanksgiving could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Max

About Max

Max is a 55-pound, 5-year-old black and brown German Shepherd with the breed's classic good looks, intelligence, and athletic drive. Neutered, up to date on all shots and preventatives, he knows basic commands like sit and is potty trained, but would benefit from additional leash work and help with impulse control—he gets very excited and tends to jump up to greet people. Max needs daily activity and ideally a job to keep his sharp mind and strong body engaged, along with a strong, experienced handler to help him unlearn some overeager habits and to watch for his escape artist tendencies. Deeply loyal and affectionate, he is ready to be a devoted companion for the right home.
