1 Month Later: Basking Ridge’s Max Still Needs A Home

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Max was named as Pet of the Month by Bernards Township in February and one month later he is still in need of a home.

Max was put up for adoption after his family could no longer care for him.

Since he went up for adoption his family said "…it's now best to find a family with no other pets or children due to the fact Max is not socialized," said Michelle Santoro, Bernards Twp Animal Control Office.

Max is an 11-month-old, dalmatian boxer mix. He was neutered in November 2019 and received a rabies vaccination and distemper.

"He is nervous of new things and people and could use some self-confidence," according to his petfinder post.

Max currently lives at a home with a 17 and 14 year old, however they can no longer care for him.

He loves to eat, have treats and play as well as go on walks. He could use some basic obedience training and socialization and currently knows sit, lay, and is house trained.

For information on Max or to adopt call Michelle Santoro, Bernards Twp Animal Control Officer to set up a meet and greet at 908-204-3066 or Msantoro@bernards.org.
