Max is a fun-loving, energetic one-year-old Labrador who is always ready for his next adventure. He’s a busy and active boy who thrives when he’s on the go, whether that’s exploring on walks, playing with his favorite toys, or enjoying time with his people. Max is a friendly lad who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys meeting people. His enthusiasm for life means he can be quite bouncy when he’s excited, so he would be best suited to a home with confident children aged 12+ who are comfortable around lively, boisterous dogs. He is housetrained and has a lovely, affectionate nature, but like many young Labradors he still has a few things to learn. Max would benefit from some continued training, particularly with walking nicely on the lead, learning how to settle and relax in the home, and gradually building confidence being left alone, as this is something he currently finds difficult. Max is looking for an active home that can keep up with his energy and continue his training in a positive, patient way. With the right guidance, structure, and plenty of exercise and enrichment, he has the potential to grow into a fantastic companion. If you’re looking for a bright, busy young dog to share your adventures with, Max could be the perfect match. Max does have some ongoing medical that will be discussed with potential adopters.

Is Max right for you?

This dog is currently being rehomed under our Homestay scheme. Under this scheme, the dog stays with their current owner until the point of adoption, when ownership transfers briefly to Dogs Trust and then to the new adopters. The benefits of Homestay for a dog are that it minimises disruption and prevents the dog having to come into kennels, however there is the potential the owner may pull out of the scheme prior to adoption. We understand the upset this may cause to potential adopters, and we work closely with owners to minimise the likelihood of this. However, it remains a possibility, and should this occur, Dogs Trust will prioritise finding adopters an alternative suitable dog.

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

We’ll review your application

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re …

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.

We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together

If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
