Maxx is a 2-year-old chihuahua mix who came to the rescue severely underweight after surviving a tough hoarding situation. He spent his early days competing with many other dogs for limited food, which left its mark. On top of being underfed, Maxx was coping with an IBD flare-up when he arrived. These days, he’s thriving on a bland diet and may need a steroid twice a week for life, but he's stable and cheerful as long as his routine stays steady. He’s completely house trained and gets along well with other dogs. Maxx will use potty pads if necessary. He prefers calm environments and finds young children a bit too much; a home with kids 12 or older would suit him better. Maxx was born under the sun sign of Leo, giving him a loyal and sunny personality. He’s in Canyon Country, CA, waiting for a home that can give him lasting security and care.
