About Max

Max is a wonderful eight-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs 11 lbs. This little guy is incredibly friendly and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He enjoys spending quality time with people and is both crate trained and house trained. Due to his bilateral luxating patellas, Max has learned to adapt, prancing about to avoid pressure on his back legs. He communicates his needs with gentle reminders when he needs to go outside. Max is looking for a low-energy adult-only home where he can be a devoted companion, soaking up all the love he deserves. Adoption is facilitated through Dixie Adoptables, and there’s no adoption fee required. For those interested, we recommend submitting an application promptly, as this is a courtesy listing and all applications will be managed by his caregiver. Click apply to start the adoption process.
