About Maximus

Maximus is available only in New Jersey and nearby areas. He’s a mix of Chihuahua and Pomeranian—both breeds known for strong opinions—and at about 7 years old, he’s developed a personality to match. Maximus is best for experienced Chihuahua or small breed owners. Once he trusts you, he’s devoted, quick to bond, and his affection can usually be earned with treats. Maximus needs an adult-only home, far from the energy and unpredictability of children; too much commotion or anyone approaching quickly isn't a good fit for him. A retired individual or couple who can give him daily routine, a comfy spot on the couch, and walks would suit him best. He doesn’t have high exercise demands—just company and patience. He's in good health and just had a dental, so he’s ready for a new start. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
