Meet Max Max is a 7-year-old, 4.8 lb Chihuahua with a quiet, independent personality. He's not your typical "Velcro dog" - and that's okay. Max prefers to observe the world from the comfort of his bed and takes his time deciding who he trusts. He's not interested in toys or roughhousing with other dogs, and he doesn't seek out constant attention. Instead, Max is more of a low-key companion who enjoys his own space and a calm environment. Max is still working on his potty habits but does use pee pads. He isn't a fan of being picked up and may feel more comfortable when allowed to approach people on his own terms. The Right Home for Max: Max needs a patient, understanding adopter who won't rush him. Someone experienced with shy or independent dogs would be ideal. With time, consistency, and respect for his boundaries, Max may slowly build trust and show his softer side. He may never be a cuddly lap dog - but for the right person, Max could be a peaceful, quiet companion who simply enjoys sharing space with you. Local adoption only - Gulfport, MS If you believe in giving the "harder to crack" dogs a chance, Max just might be your guy.
