Adults G-M

Maxwell - Sep 2024 Intake

9/19/24 Intake: lab/shepherd mix, 37.6 lbs, 2 yrs old, male, HW-, stray. Maxwell was brought in as a stray by animal control from Spring Valley in Hartsville along with Merle. He is heartworm negative. 

*NEW* Foster Update Jan 26, 2026: Maxwell does well staying inside the home and even in a fenced area next door, showing no destructive behavior and no attempts to escape. He finds a lot of comfort in the presence of other dogs and truly blossoms when he has a confident canine companion to follow — a home with another dog is a must for him. He’s been on a few river outings and does great exploring at his own pace. He doesn’t wander far and reliably comes back when called, which says so much about the trust he’s building. When he’s outside and free, he’s still cautious about physical touch, but even there we’ve seen noticeable improvement. Maxwell will thrive in a patient, understanding home that celebrates small wins and allows him to continue progressing at his own speed. With time, consistency, and a dog buddy by his side, this sweet boy has so much potential to shine.
