MEET MAXWELL….A precocious, 10 lb, tri colored, 1.5 yr old, Maltese/ShihTzu, who was given up because his pet mom didn’t feel she could provide the attention and environment he needed to thrive.  That would include another dog in the home who Max can play with…a family with kids over 5 yrs old…a yard…and lots and lots of love and attention!  He is super sweet and cuddly and would spend all day getting belly rubs and playing if he could.

Maxwell has a ton of energy with all the characteristics a puppy should have…except he is not destructive!  He is very excited to explore the world and meet lots of new friends.  He is curious, active, playful, kissy, friendly with everyone, everything you want a youngin’ to be!  He loves kids and other dogs….and should have both (another young, playful dog is a must) in his life!!   

On walks, Max gets distracted easily and wants to explore!  Training will be in the cards for him, so he doesn’t pull on the leash!  He mostly doesn’t lift his leg when he pees — except occasionally on a tree or bush!  He doesn’t like to be left alone and will cry for a bit but then settles down.  For this reason, we think he would be better off in a home than an apartment, and a yard will be ideal for him to get out his energy with another young pup to hang around with.  His potty training seems to be going well…but we never guarantee at your house. He does use PP pads 🙂

Maxwell longs to be in his forever home.  Can you make that happen?
