About Max

Max is an eight-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at 11 lbs. He thrives in the company of other dogs and is respectful of cats. Max is a people-lover, showcasing his affectionate nature daily. Crate trained and house trained, he understands how to communicate his needs, only barking when he needs to go out. Despite having bilateral luxating patellas, he has adapted by prancing so he doesn't put stress on his back legs. Max enjoys quiet time with his human companions and is a well-mannered little guy who doesn’t bark excessively. Given his condition, he’s best suited for a low-energy, adult-only home where he can truly shine as a companion. ***This listing is part of a courtesy posting for one of our partners. Applications will be processed by his caregiver, and transport will be arranged for approved adopters.*** Let’s give Max the loving home he deserves!
