Max is a striking shepherd mix with bold markings, a serious gaze, and a heart that’s still learning to feel safe again. He came to Wellery from a loving family who had to surrender him due to rental restrictions—not because they wanted to, but because they had no other choice.

That love shows. Max is thoughtful, observant, and deeply loyal once he trusts you. He can be shy with new people and a bit territorial in unfamiliar spaces, but he’s not aggressive—he just needs structure and time to feel secure.

Max would do best in a calm, experienced home with people who understand the value of patience. Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have a companion who’s steadfast, devoted, and quietly affectionate.
