Bio: CENSUS DEADLINE
5PM FRIDAY 06/13/25
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER
Name: Maximus
Animal ID: A865059
Age: 3yr
Weight: 52.00
About:
Maximus is a handsome guy who shines outside of his kennel- just ask to meet him and you’ll see! This affectionate, playful boy has many fans at the shelter- here’s what some of them have said:
“Maximus can be vocal behind the barrier of his kennel, but don’t let that deter you! He leashes easily and once away from the noise, he is just an easygoing snuggle bug. He jumped up on one of the picnic tables and I gave him some love and pets and he gave me a couple sweet kisses on the cheek. He’s a cute fella!”
“This morning was my first time walking Maximus. Once outside he relaxed and accepted treats willingly. We walked around the lake with his kennelmate. Maximus walked with loose body language and a wagging tail. Such a good boy!”
Maximus shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been appropriate and independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup.
Maximus is now facing a deadline due to increasingly high kennel census here at PACC and must find placement with a PACC approved adopter or foster by 5pm on Friday June 13th.
Available for foster care (2+ weeks) or adoption through PACC.
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the 5:00PM Friday June 13th, 2025 deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with.
Home Management Plan
1) Resource Guards Attention/Space (from dogs) - owner surrender notes stated protective of children in home
• Watch any interactions with dogs in close proximity to your space or their space (i.e. beds, kennels, etc)
• Divide attention equally between your current pets and your new dog.
• Ensure that each pet has a space to move away from other pets (rec. Crate training - see handout)
• Work on teaching a stay/place behavior to teach your pet boundaries.
2) Separation Anxiety - per owner surrender notes, barks a lot
• Crate training can help prevent destructive behaviors.
• Some dogs get bored easily, offering activities such as frozen kongs, enrichments, music and TV sounds can keep them busy and help alleviate stress.
• Work with a trainer to help extend length of comfort for your dog when alone.
3) Flight Risk - seen while walking to playgroup: walks at very end of leash, will bolt if scared
• Maximus needs to go home with a strong handler.
• Keep a dragline on them for at least 2 weeks, this will help you handle the dog easier.
• When outside, make sure to keep ahold of their leash until they have settled into the home.
• Don’t leave them outside unattended, make sure you monitor them outside.
• Send home with martingale collar and flat clip leash
4) DOG INTRO REQUIRED with small dogs
• Previous owner stated negative experience with small dogs and injured small dog in the home.
5) DOG INTRO RECOMMENDED with large dogs
• Due to nervous, kick me behavior in playgroup
6) Stranger Danger VS People Selective - was lunging, snapping, growling & baring teeth when he arrived. lunging/snapping/growling when first approached, very sweet once he knows you
• Your new dog is uncomfortable with new people, they may bark, snap, or flee from new people in their home.
• They need a slow introduction to new people, we recommend muzzle training for safe introductions.
• May need a safe place to be put away when new people come to the house.
• Your new dog would likely do best walking in quiet areas without a lot of traffic.
• Your new dog may not like all people and likes to pick their human friends.
• Muzzle training will help with safe introductions.
• Make sure to put your new dog in a separate space when new people visit.
7) Protests Correction
• Corrective tools such as a squirt bottle or loud noises (clapping hands/raised voices etc) may cause him to react negatively.
• Focus on positive training and interactions with your new pet
