Max

Max's ideal home

Max is a fun-loving, energetic one-year-old Labrador who is always ready for his next adventure. He’s a busy and active boy who thrives when he’s on the go, whether that’s exploring on walks, playing with his favorite toys, or enjoying time with his people. Max is a friendly lad who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys meeting people. His enthusiasm for life means he can be quite bouncy when he’s excited, so he would be best suited to a home with confident children aged 12+ who are comfortable around lively, boisterous dogs. He is housetrained and has a lovely, affectionate nature, but like many young Labradors he still has a few things to learn. Max would benefit from some continued training, particularly with walking nicely on the lead, learning how to settle and relax in the home, and gradually building confidence being left alone, as this is something he currently finds difficult. Max is looking for an active home that can keep up with his energy and continue his training in a positive, patient way. With the right guidance, structure, and plenty of exercise and enrichment, he has the potential to grow into a fantastic companion. If you’re looking for a bright, busy young dog to share your adventures with, Max could be the perfect match.
Max does have some ongoing medical that will be discussed with potential adopters.

Could you be Max's perfect match?

This dog is currently being rehomed under our Homestay scheme. Under this scheme, the dog stays with their current owner until the point of adoption, when ownership transfers briefly to Dogs Trust and then to the new adopters. The benefits of Homestay for a dog are that it minimises disruption and prevents the dog having to come into kennels, however there is the potential the owner may pull out of the scheme prior to adoption. We understand the upset this may cause to potential adopters, and we work closely with owners to minimise the likelihood of this. However, it remains a possibility, and should this occur, Dogs Trust will prioritise finding adopters an alternative suitable dog.
