This handsome fellow is Max. He's a big boy, 100 pounds, and only a year old. His foster mom thinks he's a Great Dane/Labrador mix. He's a big, happy puppy, so he has plenty of energy and a short attention span. Max is also very sweet and lovable.
Max loves kids but gets so darned excited that he knocks the little ones over, which they understandably don't enjoy. He's done fine with kids 10 years old and up, though.
He's a rough-and-tumble player, so we think cats and small dogs would not appreciate living with Max. Medium and large dogs who like to play? Yes, please! Max gets along great with the shepherd/husky and Great Pyrenees in his foster home.
Max likes to eat things. When he was found by his foster in a ditch, Max weighed only 42 pounds and was near death with SIX socks in his stomach. It took months to nurse him back to health and he barely made it. He's not messing around with his goal to consume everything he can get his mouth on, so to keep Max safe, he wears a basket muzzle when not supervised. He doesn't mind it one bit!
Max has been neutered and is current on his vaccines and heartworm prevention. He's also kennel- and house-trained.
Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 if you're interested in giving this fabulous boy a forever home. He's in the KC metro.

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.
The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net.
The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
