Critter Details

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.super handsome young boy seeking happily ever after! MAX NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Max        Best Guess for Breed: Catahoula Leopard dog and Australian shepherd mix Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of July 2024         SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:  42 lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven’t seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested   Currently Living at:  Shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to escape!   Max is Looking For: His forever home! Through no fault of his own, this handsome guy landed in the shelter. He’s eager to once again have his own humans to trot alongside on sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed are on his wish list as well. Shelter staff have tested him with other dogs both on- and off-leash and say he did well with them; he is just friendly towards them.    What Max wants most of all is to know where he belongs, to be safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange he has so much to offer – adoring gazes, happy tail wags, and loyal companionship. His adopters gotta be prepared for one thing though – they are likely to hear ‘oh that dog is so good looking!’ a lot. If you’re up for that attention and think Max is the one for you – see below for how to apply! What My Foster Says About Me:   Max is a wonderful and playful dog! He will match your energy. If you want to play, he’ll try to play too.  If you want to relax, he will lay right next to you and fall asleep! He loves his toys and cuddling. He loves to go on walks and it’s a good way for him to get his energy out before bed. We are working on his potty training, taking him out every hour, and it’s helping him learn to not go in the house. We are also working on commands such as ‘down’ for ‘lay down’ and he’s learning well.  In terms of crate training, he is making great progress! He’s now calming himself down and staying in it overnight. He doesn’t have potty accidents in the crate.  Our friends had their dog over who was smaller than Max and he handled it very well. He is very dog friendly. My friend’s dog isn’t as much but Max’s temperament stayed calm and thought the dog was playful when really she was baring her teeth a little. He is such a good boy.  Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
