MAXINE
I’m Maxine – low-key, affectionate, and easy to hang with.
Black Labrador mix | 5 years old | Extra Large (84 pounds)
Female | Van Nuys, CA
ABOUT MAXINE
Personality: low-key, medium energy, likes being with her human
Favorite things: likes to play with other polite dogs, likes going on field trips
Training: knows basic commands
Exercise: would do fine with two neighborhood walks every day
Care status: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped
Special notes: Maxine was surrendered by her owner with her brother, Mookie, who was adopted right away. She attended one of our adoption events; she was chill and well-behaved. She was affectionate with people and greeted both adults and children appropriately.
THE IDEAL HOME
Best match: Maxine could live in an apartment where someone would be home all day to take her out for potty breaks. She would love a single-family home with a backyard where she could relax on the grass.
Other dogs? good with other no-drama dogs her size
Cats? unknown
Kids? would do best with older kids
