Max lost his owner and ended up in a rural shelter, but he's looking for a second chance. He’s around 7 years old, weighs about 16 lbs, and sports a scruffy, brindle coat that doesn’t leave hair all over the house. As a Yorkie and Schnauzer mix, he brings together the best wiry traits of both breeds. Max thrives as the only dog—he really just wants to be someone’s faithful sidekick. He’s happiest when trailing behind his favorite person, cuddling on the couch, or chasing a kickball in the backyard. Puzzle toys fill his afternoons and give him the joy of earning treats. He tends to be wary of strangers and takes a while to feel at ease with new people, but treats and patience help a lot. Adopters must be local to the Dallas Metroplex or nearby, as home trials are done in-person. Young kids under 10 aren’t a fit for Max, and the rescue requires no chain link fences or apartment settings. If you want a loyal, quirky little buddy who just needs a quiet home with just you, Max might be a match. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
