About Maxwell

Meet Maxwell: the joy-filled companion you're looking for. He might be a senior, but he has the spirit of a puppy. This fluffy Bichon Frise mix weighs in at 24 pounds and has the happiest demeanor you'll ever encounter. Every day for him is an adventure waiting to happen, whether it’s a stroll around the block, helping with dinner, or just being your ever-present sidekick. Maxwell approaches life with unrestrained enthusiasm, and he’s quite the character—his tail wags and body wiggles reflect his joyful spirit. This little shadow loves to be involved in everything you do, from cooking meals to watching TV. If you're moving around the house, expect him to be right underfoot. He’s also incredibly gentle and caring, especially towards other pets, like his blind foster sibling. While he gets excited seeing other dogs and tends to pull on the leash, his foster family is working on his leash manners with some tasty hot dogs as motivation. Maxwell can be a little head shy while receiving treatment for a chronic ear issue, but that doesn’t take away from his sweet personality. Maxwell’s only quirks include a playful curiosity about open doors and a tendency to settle in at your feet. His affectionate nature and sense of humor mean he will provide you warmth during cold nights and a smile every day. Now he’s just waiting for a family ready to share their heart with him. No fancy backyards or adventurous outings are required; he just wants to cuddle and enjoy the simple moments in life.
