Click apply to start the adoption process. Introducing Max, a five-month-old, 12-pound neutered male Rat Terrier mix with a beautiful black and white/cream short coat. Max is incredibly smart and playful, always eager to engage in fun and games. While he may be a bit shy at first, his curiosity and sweet nature shine through, making him a loyal companion whose devotion runs deep. Max especially loves to cuddle after a day of energetic play, showing his affectionate and gentle side. This brave little pup needs a forever home that can offer a safe environment to explore—so a fenced yard is a must for him, as apartment living would not be suitable. Max is currently learning house training and would be the perfect match for someone seeking a joyful, devoted companion. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and current on heartworm and flea prevention. Max is fostering with Heather's Foster Dogs in the southern suburbs of Chicago, ready to meet his perfect family following their application review and phone conversation. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
