Ideal Home/Adopter: A home with another large playful dog.  Someone who wants a lap dog (despite his size).  He does well on a leash and loves to go for walks, but he is strong so someone sturdy.

Likes: Loves toys- fluffy and bones! Loves to cuddle with you/be pet, loves to be outside, play with other dogs

Dislikes: Doesn’t love getting in his crate so he needs encouragement in the form of treats of a push

What makes this dog special: He plays hard, loves hard, sleeps hard, repeat. Max's previous owner was evicted and he was left behind and ended up at a shelter where he had the opportunity to donate life saving blood to a dog suspected to be poisoned. Max saved her life and now that dog is adopted! Despite his heroism, he sat in an outdoor kennel at the shelter being overlooked, so he came to RO. He was Lyme positive and is finishing up meds for that. He has spent the last several weeks decompressing and re-learning how to be a dog. He passed daycare and wanted to make friends with everybody! 

Max's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
