Photo courtesy of Maui Humane Society Aloha, kakou! My name is Max and I am the Maui Humane Society’s Pet of the Week. I’m a 1-year-old pup with a big heart and an even bigger hope — to find my forever ‘ohana. I came to MHS in January with my sister, Daisy, after our previous family had to make the tough decision to surrender us due to a new landlord who didn’t allow pets. Life at the shelter has been a big change, but I’m slowly discovering how exciting the world can be. I didn’t get out much before, so everything is new to me — but I’m learning fast. I’m potty trained, super smart, and I get along with other dogs. I’m still a little shy, but with a patient and loving ‘ohana, I know I’ll blossom. Are you the one who’ll help me write the next chapter of my story?
