About Maximo Arriving D

Maximo, known as Max, is on his way to Minnesota in search of a forever home. Hailing from a busy household in Texas, he’s ready to trade chaos for comfort and cuddles. Max is an expert lap warmer, ideal for those chilly winter nights. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would appreciate having a canine buddy to help him settle into his new environment. This sweet, small male is nervous around new people, but once he feels safe, he shows his friendly side. Max will need some guidance with housetraining and socialization, especially as he adjusts to this fresh chapter of his life. While he hasn't met cats or kids, he is eager to meet his furry companions. Max deserves a patient family that can provide him with love and support. He’s set to arrive in Princeton, MN on October 10, 2026, and will be available exclusively through the Foster to Adopt program at Ruff Start Rescue. Remember, you’ll need to pick him up between 8:30-11:30 am. Together, you can help Max thrive in a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
