About Max the Mush

Meet Max the Mush! Max is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu weighing in at a petite 10 lbs. He was surrendered when his family no longer had time for him, leaving him feeling quite lonely. Throughout his life, Max has been well cared for; he’s neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. This sweet boy is house trained and brings joy to everyone he meets, whether they’re big or small, two-legged or four-legged. He’s the perfect addition to any family. Max enjoys his walks and loves to explore a fenced yard. Nothing makes him happier than snuggling up with you while you share something delicious; he’s always eager to accept a tasty treat! On October 14th, Max is scheduled for a much-needed dental appointment, and he’ll be all set for adoption a few days afterward. Don’t miss the chance to love this delightful senior. He truly appreciates every bit of attention he receives and deserves endless cuddles for the rest of his life! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
