Hi, I’m Maxy πŸ’™πŸΎ

I might not be the dog who comes running up to strangers straight away, but if you’re willing to take the time to get to know me, I promise I’m worth every bit of the effort πŸ₯ΉπŸ’• Beneath my shy exterior is a sweet, affectionate boy just waiting for the right person to see the real me.

I can be a little unsure when meeting new people and experiencing new situations, so I’m looking for experienced owners who understand that trust takes time 🫢✨ I need a family who is happy to go at my pace, let me build confidence gradually, and celebrate all the little wins along the way. Once you’re in my circle, though, you’ll discover a cuddly, goofy, and incredibly loving companion who adores his people ❀️🐢

I absolutely love spending time with the humans I trust. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch, enjoying a quiet walk, or simply hanging out together, I’m happiest when I’m close to my favourite people πŸ₯°πŸΎ My silly personality starts to shine once I’m comfortable, and that’s when people realise what a hidden gem I truly am πŸ’Žβœ¨

I’m looking for a calm home with no children, where I can continue building confidence without feeling overwhelmed. While I enjoy a peaceful environment, I still need an active home that can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to explore the world at a pace that suits me πŸŒΏπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸ•

I could be best friends with a tolerant, playful dog pal,πŸ‘πŸ’• I’ll also need secure 6-foot fencing to help keep me safe and secure in my new environment.

I know I’m not the kind of dog who gives away his heart immediately, but for the person willing to be patient and understanding, I’ll become the most loyal friend you could ask for πŸ’™πŸΎ If you’re looking for a sweet soul who just needs someone to believe in him, I could be the perfect addition to your family ✨πŸ₯°πŸ’Ž

While I'm awaiting my forever home, I'm being fed Savour Life, who are generous partners of AWLQ!

Please Note:

Please visit our Animal Rehoming Centres during opening hours to meet our animals and adopt. No appointment is needed. For select animals, we will require an email application. Where this is the case, instructions will be specified on the animal's profile.

This website is live and updates frequently. To check if an animal is available, please check their adoption profile. If it is active and hasn't been marked as 'adopted', the animal is still here.

Please be aware there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location, the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted, or another party might be going through the adoption process.
