MEET MAXWELL….A precocious, 10 lb, tri colored, 1yr 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 8 yrs old…a yard…and lots and lots of love and attention!  He is just learning what a belly rub is, but as time goes on, he gets more and more comfortable and wants to be cuddled a little bit  more each day!

Puppies can be a lot of work, and Maxwell has a ton of energy! After all…..he’s a pup with all the characteristics one should have!!  Max is very curious, active, playful, kissy, friendly with everyone, everything you want a youngin’ to be!  He loves kids and other other dogs….and should have both (another young, playful dog is a must) in his life!!  Kids over 8 yrs best so he doesn’t knock them over!

This is one adorable pup, who just needs time to acclimate and feel safe in his environment.  On walks, Max gets distracted easily and wants to explore the world!  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 wants to be in his forever home for the holidays.  Can you make that happen?
