Playful, adventurous dog looking for her forever home

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) - Meet Maxine! She is up for adoption at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

Maxine is a 5-year-old Australian Cattledog mix who has been with the shelter since June. Shelter staff say she is an active dog and would make a great adventure buddy. She loves to play fetch, go on walks and lay out in the sun.

She is also super smart and knows commands like sit, down and shake. She is also treat motivated and eager to please, according to the shelter. Maxine can tend to be shy around others at first, so a home where she is with adults and older children would be best.

She also may be best if she is the only pet in the house as well. Shelter staff say she seems to be housebroken and does well during office time with staff.

If you are interested in Maxine, she is available for adoption or foster to adopt. If you would like to meet with her, you can visit the shelter at 4340 Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus. For a full list of other adoptable dogs, visit the shelter's website.
