Meet Maximus “Pee Pants McGee”
Maximus isn’t just a dog — he’s a best friend, a cuddle buddy, and the kind of soul who makes a house feel like home.
✨ About Maximus ✨
Loves his toys (squeakers are his jam)
Professional cuddler — snuggling is his favorite…. And he won’t be offended if you invite him on the bed or couch
Great runner buddy — loves to stretch his legs and would thrive with an active person or yard
Sweet, affectionate, and gentle
