Hi, I'm Maximilian, but you can just call me Max! I was rescued from a home that was very overcrowded. In my previous home, there were too many animals for me to get enough attention. I am a big boy but am super loving and affectionate. I can be a bit of a handful but that's only because I am so excited to get love and attention. The people at the shelter are working with me on jumping. I am really good at sitting and will do anything for love or treats!
I am a gorgous German Shepherd/Husky Mix! When kept on a good schedule, I am potty-trained. I love a good dip in the pool. I would love to be a family dog, but I might do better being the only dog in the home. I do great with kids, but older kids might be better due to my energy (I wouldn't want to risk knocking any littles down). If you do have another dog, the shelter reccomends a meet and greet to ensure the proper introduction to any potiential canine sibling.
If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come.
Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets!
All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop
