Editor’s Note: Inspired by our founder Ali Jarvis’ “lemon” dog, Luc, this series is dedicated to local, special-needs pups who are looking for loving furever homes. Please consider sharing this post — you might help Max from Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue find his!

SWD: Max looks like one happy fella! Tell us about this smiley guy.
CH: Max is one of the most friendly and easy-going dogs you’ll ever meet. He’s affectionate and talkative — a neighborhood favorite! And he grins from ear to ear when people stop by to give him a little lovin’.
SWD: And what else does Mr. Laid-Back like?
CH: If he’s not getting a scratch or rub, Max is quite content to find a soft spot to relax near his people. He occasionally likes to chew on Kongs and other toys, but he doesn’t require a ton of things to keep him busy. He’s just easy!
SWD: What is his special need?
CH: A few years ago Max lost one of his legs, but gets around just fine on three! He prefers minimal stairs and shorter walks, but he’s been know to chase a squirrel or two when he’s feeling frisky. Sometimes he’ll even run along the fenceline, racing loud vehicles.
SWD: What did Max do the last time he brought a smile to your face?
CH: He recently met a baby and he was so sweet as he sniffed her, then gently kissed her good-bye.
SWD: Awwww! So he’s good with the young ‘uns. What would make an ideal home for Max?
CH: Max would prefer a quieter home, but would be happy around children as long as the kids are a little older and respectful of his age and low-key personality. He’d enjoy the attention and snuggling! Another smaller dog or cat would be fine — he completely ignores my kitty, which essentially means they get along. Max would appreciate having minimal steps to climb, and a fence-in yard, due to the occasional need for a small-animal chase. Once he’s found his forever home, Mellow Max will feel like part of that lucky family in minutes.
If you’re interested in learning more about this cute guy or giving him the forever home he deserves, head to Max’s adoption page for more info.
