Maximus is a striking young dog with a larger-than-life presence and a personality to match. With his broad build, deep brindle coat, and expressive eyes, he turns heads wherever he goes—but it’s his friendly, outgoing nature that truly makes him stand out. He greets the world with enthusiasm and enjoys being around people, bringing a warm, social energy into every interaction.

Still very much a young dog at heart, Maximus carries a playful spirit into his daily routine. He loves catching treats mid-air and finding moments to run and play, showing off both his athletic side and his joyful approach to life. As he continues to grow into himself, he’s learning just how big and strong he is, and benefits from guidance that helps him channel his excitement in positive ways.

Beneath his impressive size is a gentle, affectionate companion who enjoys connection and companionship. Life with Maximus means sharing your days with a dog who brings both fun and presence into the home. His combination of playfulness and loyalty creates a rewarding bond, especially for someone who appreciates a big dog with a soft side and a lively outlook.

Maximus is ready for a fresh chapter where he can continue to grow and thrive. If you’re looking for a devoted, social companion with a playful spirit, reach out to learn more about welcoming him as a foster or adopter.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
