Adoption Applications are now accepted for Maximus at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org Hi I'm Maximus (Max) and I LOVE life! I am a happy guy and everyone is my friend whether they talk, bark or meow. Ok, the meows kind of scare me so I may avoid them. I'm an Australian Cattle Dog puppy and am about 11 months old and am a great size at only 37 pounds! I love to please my people and I love learning my commands! I'd love to share life's adventures and lots of snuggles with you! When I'm old enough I can even be a running buddy or just play outside in a fenced in yard! My favorite things are first and foremost people....I love love love my people! Hmmmm, I wonder if I could fit in your shirt? I sure might try so we can go everywhere together! I also love to play with other dogs, my toys, chew on bones, get belly rubs, cuddles and to sleep in the arms of my foster mama! I live with dogs from 35 pounds to 160 pounds,  absolutely love kids, and as for cats but they scare the dickens out of me.., although, I'm not sure what the dickens is, but I do just try to ignore them! I'd be super duper happy if you have another dogs to help wear me out then I'll happily settle in with my people to watch tv or just snuggle. Also, I'm such a good boy when lights go out, so do I! Plus I sleep through the night!  I'm potty trained and crate training.  I'll go in my crate fine but don't really love it so may cry or bark for a few minutes. My foster mom ignores me and it doesn't take long for me to quiet but NO APARTMENTS for me please!  My hobby is training/learning and I love working for treats.  I'm really good at "sit" and "down",  "stay"  and working on "dance".  I promise to keep your home full of joy, love and goofiness so please pick me, pick me, pick me (visualize...my paw is currently up in the air)!!!  Apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org ADOPTION DONATION: $400 *ALL DOGS MUST BE INSIDE COMPANION ANIMALS!
