04/06/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Maxus lives by the saying that age is a case of mind over matter–if he doesn’t mind, it doesn’t matter! The years may have frosted his face but they haven’t dimmed his puppyish enthusiasm for food, fun and adventure, and no one loves to explore more than this dapper gent. Like many older dogs, he prefers to take his time on walks, first finishing up his ‘business,’ then leisurely sniffing and tasting his way around the block before reluctantly returning to his spotless den with a look of sad acceptance. With an appetite to match his youthful spirit, he’ll happily sit on command to receive a treat…or five…or ten…and if you’re looking for some motivation to teach an old dog new tricks, just keep those tasty rewards coming! Maxus greets friends of all shapes and sizes with soft tail wags and a gentle hello snuffle, and it’s no surprise to learn he scored high in his behavior assessment too. A family pet used to plenty of company, his great, low-key social skills guarantee a warm welcome wherever he goes, and having lived with another dog and interacted gently with children, he’d fit into almost any home like a well-worn glove. We can’t wait to see our golden boy live out his retirement surrounded by all the love and loyalty he deserves, and hope it won’t be long before he meets his perfect match. Welcome this sweet senior home today and get ready to start living life to the Maxus!

Previous owner states: “Maxus has lived with his another pit bull, Maxus was okay with the other dog but the other dog would try to fight with Maxus and Maxus would do nothing.” The behavior department recommends that Maxus be allowed to decompress in a new home environment, as well as a pre-adoption interaction before placing him into a home with dogs.
