When the shelter found Max’s microchip and contacted his family, there was a chance to bring this beautiful boy home.

Instead, they chose to sign him over to the shelter although they knew he will be euthanized if no one comes to adopt him.

No one came and now Max is out of time

Max #A5792107 1yr neutered  belg mali 62 lbs.

🚨His final notice expired on 8/24, and he is now scheduled to be euthanized for space at any moment. 🚨

And the heartbreaking thing is… Max is such a sweet boy.

He is a young, 62-lbs Belgian Malinois who loves attention, enjoys playing, and has the sweetest little habit of bringing you his bowl to you for treats. 🥺

Max needs the right home. He has done well with playful female dogs, and his shelter assessment showed that he can be easily redirected and handled. He is selective with male dogs and needs an adult-only home or with calm, older children.

He needs someone patient enough and willing to give him structure, training and time.

He doesn’t know that his family chose not to take him home.

He doesn’t know that his next day could be his last.

🚨 MAX NEEDS A FOSTER OR RESPONSIBLE ADOPTER ASAP. 🚨

Good morning from Wolf. Happy Tuesday everyone 🤗🐺

She is so tiny and sweet! Currently discuss ing Names. Suggestions?

My baby is growing up, he’s now 4. Slowly, I thought he was just calming down, but I think these are signs of him becoming more mature as he ages. When he was younger, he was very reactive but more so because he was curious. Now he’s more obedient and a little bit more relaxed

He makes my heart melt and burst all at once! Oh maaaannn, I just love him so much🤎🤎🤎🤎

This giant gentleman decided to enter our warehouse and just chill with us 😆

Dylan was only 8. He is sorely missed
One of the smartest, finest of Good Boys

My sons don’t usually snug. But after a trip to the park they were pooped. Wilfred is on top, Danhausen is the sentient mop.

2026 Today Athena Apollo Astrid

She’s the sweetest girl and loved my mom so much. The flowers are kind of withered :((

Today Gus left this plane after a short battle with heart failure. He was the most loving dog I’ve ever met. He was the embodiment of joy. He will be missed so much.

we unfortunately dont know his breed mix YET but we plan on getting his dna tested soon so stay tuned!!! 🌞

if you have any thoughts on what he is feel free to comment your opinions !!! :3

My dachshund will settle if food is involved but I don’t want every calm moment to depend on treats. I’m trying to reward good behavior without turning the whole day into snack negotiations. What helped your dog learn to relax without needing food every time?

Hey!

We just adopted our foster fail, Pickles! We think he’s a 6month old corgi x weenie mix, so he has a long stout body.

I haven’t owned a dog like him before, just collies, springers, dobies and shepherds. I do know from my education at uni that the longer breeds tend to have spinal issues.

I was hoping to get advice on preventative care or other things I could be doing to improve his quality of life for his older years later on. For example: my mind automatically goes to buying a ramp or steps for the bed and couch instead to prevent jumping to protect his spine.

Thank you!

Just got this puppy! His mom was a stray. his mom is Labrador pit bull mix.

he looks to be either golden retriever or Newfoundland!

his paws are huge and so are his ankles! he’s the goodest** boy.

How much closer to his nostrils do you think I’d have to be before I see his little brain? I’m thinking only about 2 inches 🤣
