About this Dog
Meet Max, a heartbroken boy whose world was turned upside down when his owner surrendered him. This sweet soul is terrified in the shelter, and it shows—but even through his fear, he allowed one of our volunteers to gently bathe him, covered in fleas and in desperate need of relief. We think he was grateful, even if he didn’t know how to show it at first. What shattered us most was seeing him pee in fear when brought back inside—his eyes full of confusion and sadness. Max isn’t just scared; he’s grieving. He needs someone with patience, kindness, and a soft place to land to help him heal. Please consider opening your heart to Max—he’s not just looking for a home, he’s looking for hope.

Adopt Max and Receive Max's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Max's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Max's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Max, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Max's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Max was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Max’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Max’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Max’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
