MAX's Story

!!URGENT- DEADLINE FOR ADOPTION OR RESCUE: WEDNESDAY 4/8, 5:00 PM!! <br/>Meet Mindful Max, an old soul looking for his soulmate. <br/>Max is a 3-year-old black and tan German Shepherd with a heart as big as his 74-pound frame and eyes that seem to tell a story all their own. <br/>This handsome, neutered boy has striking ears, a beautiful smile, and a calm, soulful presence that draws people in the moment they meet him.<br/>Max is incredibly handler-focused and loves being by your side. He already knows commands like sit, paw, and down, and he takes treats gently like a true gentleman. One of his sweetest quirks? He’ll rub up against you like a cat just to soak up affection and he’s just as generous giving it back.<br/> <br/>He enjoys a good game of catch but is just as happy trotting back to you for pets and praise. Max also loves his “sniff walks,” taking in the world at his own pace and enjoying all the scents along the way. He walks nicely on a leash, is very patient, and tends to take life in stride.<br/> <br/>Max prefers people over other dogs and isn’t a fan of big trucks, so he’d do best in a home that understands his sensitivities and helps him feel safe. In return, you’ll get a loyal, attentive companion who loves to sit by your side and quietly observe the world with you.<br/> <br/>If you’re looking for a steady, affectionate, and truly special dog, Max might just be your perfect match. He’s not just a good boy... he’s the best boy. <br/> <br/>Max recently met some social dogs at our shelter but he does not seem to want to make new dog friends right now. <br/> <br/>To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!
