Hello, my name is Maxie, and I am wondering if you like to go for walks and will throw the ball for me? Those are my two favorite things! Oh, and snoozing on the couch, too, after all the fun. I am around 9 years old, but sometimes act younger when its time to play, and sometimes I like to act like a senior dog and snooze on the couch too.

I get along with other dogs, especially ones my size. I don't like the crate, but I tolerate it quietly. I can be left out for longer periods of time just fine but my foster dad says that's not fair to the other dogs who are crated, so I just snooze in my crate. I get to sleep on the bed at night, though, and it's just the best! I will chase cats or any other wildlife outside, but other than that I am great on walks. I am fully potty trained, and didn't even have a single accident in the foster house.

I love attention and will ask for lots of pets. But sometimes, when I am tired and resting, I prefer to be left alone, and if touched when not looking or asking for pets, it might startle me, and I might accidentally react by snapping. Therefore, I am a bite risk in this scenario. That is the only time my foster dad says I get that way. I am working with a trainer to help me with that. There hasn't been any situations like this in the past few months though, as my foster dad says I am doing really well! I just like to know that I am going to get pets so that I can be ready for them. So best to be in a family with only adults, or older children only. But the neighbor girls next door let me out sometimes, and take me for walks, and I just love them.

I am ready to find my forever home as I just love people, and will follow my new family members around the house because I am always just so curious. I am very quick to adapt to new situations.

**Note on breed and age determination: 

Breed and age are often determined on appearance, our own knowledge, veterinarian advice, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners.  Most of our adoptable dogs were previously stray dogs with little history, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s breed mix, and unless there is a specific date of birth listed, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s age. Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ.
