Max Terrier & Shepherd Mix Gilbert, AZ

Max is a cute little 18 pound Jack Russell Terrier blend who joined us recently from a county facility. His paperwork lists him as 4 years old but his foster mom thinks he may be much closer to 1.5 to 2 because of his puppy-ish behaviors. He's very shy at our adoption center and needs a family who will give him extra time to realize that things just got really good for him once he gets into his forever home. He loves other dogs and is super playful, and will require another dog in the home to continue to build his confidence, and also needs a very patient, calmer home with no young children under age 12. He is enjoying being spoiled by one of our amazing foster homes and is available only by appointment; email Debbie@AzFriends.org to inquire about a meet and greet.

Max requires an appointment but you can come and see us any time we are open. Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form then come and see us! We do require any family interested in meeting our dogs or cats to fill out a consultation form - this form helps us determine if the dog/cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo, without knowing the personality of the dog. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see us (or come and see us and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!

Please note that ALL dogs and cats are available to the first home that meets the dog or cat that we feel is a good match. In order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member.
