Would you like to meet an absolute gent of a pup? Meet Maximo, a gorgeous 1-year-old Shepherd mix who came to us from Tulare County Animal Services.

Stepping off of the van, Maximo was an absolute darling right out of the gate. He was practicing sits, introducing himself to everyone he could, and taking treats like it was his job. He’s definitely both affection and food motivated with the added bonus of being a smart dog who’s ready to learn.

If you want a sweetheart who can make the whole family smile in a myriad of ways, look no further than Maximo.
