Maximus  is a 1-1/2 year old Lab/Terrier mix and is a lovable big guy weighing in at around 60 to 65 pounds. Maximus has adjusted very well to his foster home, getting along with the  2 dogs that live there. He is very energetic and enjoys running in the yard, playing with toys and going for walks. He is housebroken, walks well on a leash and knows some basic commands. He does need to be crated when his foster family leaves because he still has that puppy urge to chew. Max is good with older children and would be fine with younger ones with a little more training. Basic obedience is being taught to him at his foster home and he is picking up on it very quickly.  His ideal forever home would be one with a fenced hard and a family that has time for play and walks/runs.    

UPDATE:

Maximus has been with us since mid-March and he has adjusted to our active household. He loves the fenced backyard and will stay outside relaxing in the grass on nice days. He has become quite the snuggler sometimes forgetting that he weighs 65 lbs and tries to set on our laps.

He still has the puppy urge to chew but only occasionally, much better in fact.  While he is  kenneled when we leave the house, he sleeps in my son’s room at night and will stay there until we get up in the morning. He is doing well with the kids in the neighborhood and has become a favorite of many of them. He is really is a sweet boy. While at the adoption the other week, he sat quietly in the kennel which is not easy to do. Sometimes adoption events can be stressful for a guy.
