Meet Max

Max is ready for adoption, but he isn't at the shelter! Because of his medical history, he is waiting to meet his future family from the calm comfort of a foster home.

In many ways, Max is just like other dogs: he loves stuffed toys, peanut butter, and being outdoors. But in other ways, Max needs specialized care.

While he hasn't had any medical episodes at CCHS, he has a history of occasional seizures. Max is partially blind, and he has a neurological-based learning delay. Max will thrive in a family committed to giving him patience, structure, and love.
