My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Max, a spirited 25lb Sheltie with a zest for life and a heart full of love! 🐾 This little dynamo is looking for an equally energetic and dedicated forever family who can keep up with his adventurous spirit. 🌟

Max thrives in an environment where he can be with his people all day long, especially if there’s another social dog—or even a few!—to share in the fun. 🐶 A fully fenced yard is a must for this lively guy, as he loves to zoom around and explore. Max is not your average couch potato; he craves activity and mental stimulation, so he needs a family that enjoys daily walks, runs, or other fun dog-friendly activities. 🏃‍♂️

Max will be happiest in a home with at least one stay-at-home dog mom or dad who is ready to make him the center of attention. He’s a true companion dog who wants to be involved in everything you do—whether it’s a morning jog, an afternoon of fetch, or just hanging out in the yard. 🌳 If he doesn’t get his daily walk or playtime, he might get a bit anxious and bark to let you know he needs more action. 🐕

Max comes from a loving home of older folks who, while well-meaning, weren’t quite prepared for the energy of a young, active Sheltie. Now, Max is ready to find a home that matches his zest for life—one that understands his need for exercise, adventure, and plenty of love. 💖 He’s a healthy, well-behaved boy who just needs the right environment to truly shine.

If you’re an active family with older kids (21+), a fully fenced yard, and the time and dedication to make Max your daily companion, he could be the perfect addition to your home. He’s waiting for a family who will treat him like the baby of the house and include him in all their adventures. 🐾

Think you can keep up with Max? Visit [Coastal Sheltie Rescue](www.coastalsheltierescue.org) to read our guidelines and apply to be Max’s forever family. Let’s find Max the loving, active home he deserves! 🏡
