Maxine (Maxi), a lab mix born roughly on 8/12/22, is an affectionate girl who loves people. She’s always happy to get pets and frequently leans against our leg and rolls over for belly rubs or snuggles up against us when we sit down.

She does best with slow introductions to new dogs, especially if the other dog comes in hot. That said, she gets along great with our other foster, who is a hyper ball of energy. Once she is comfortable with the other dogs, she behaves very submissively. Maxine has been around cats and did well upon meeting them. Maxine walks quickly on a leash; however, she listens well to correction.

She is completely potty trained. Some days, she has been in the kennel for up to 10+ hours without an accident. There have been no accidents outside the kennel, either. She will go to the door and wait until let out. She is a smart gal, so I’m sure she could be trained to ding a bell or use whatever method you prefer. Maxi sleeps well beside us in bed all night. Or she will chill all day or all night in the kennel.

We’ve got some exciting news about this pup’s age! Thanks to DNA testing from Embark, we’ve got a fresh take on how old they really are. A big shoutout to Embark for generously donating these tests for us to explore! You might spot a difference between Embark's findings and our original guess—after all, no test or person is 100% accurate. It’s all part of the adventure!
