About Max
Max is a small Chiweenie/Shih Tzu mix who came from a unique background—raised with many other dogs and limited contact with the outside world. He’s shy and needs a patient adopter who knows rescue dogs need time and understanding. Max is used to using a doggy door, sleeping in bed with his person, and being around other small dogs. He’s fully vetted, sweet-natured, and handsome, but feels safest when transitions are slow and gentle. He’s best suited to a home with another small, confident dog to help him adjust. Expect to start Max off in a safe, confined space so he can build trust at his own pace. He isn’t suited for immediate backyard access and needs close supervision until he settles in—he’s a flight risk when scared. He gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. Once he bonds, you’ll see how loving and loyal he can be. Max was born August 12th, making him a thoughtful and practical Leo. If you’re ready to invest the time and patience these 'project babies' need, Max could be your next success story. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
