About Maxine Courtesy Listed

Maxine, affectionately known as Max, is a young mixed-breed dog around 3 to 4 years old. This small dog usually weighs between 20 to 25 pounds and has a long, striking coat in shades of gray, blue, silver, and cream. While Max is housebroken in the sense that she doesn’t defecate indoors, she struggles with urinating inside, a challenge that her new owner will need to address diligently. Max has had a troubled past with multiple homes, resulting in some behavioral issues. She's good with adults but has a concerning history of biting, including a notable incident with a previous guardian. Because of this, she does not do well with small children or other animals; her current guardian is cautious about her around grandchildren. Maxine is looking for an experienced and responsible dog owner ready to invest time and patience into her development. A stable, structured home will be essential for her to thrive. This might be a perfect match for someone who understands her special needs and can provide the guidance she requires. Ready to meet Max? Click apply to start the adoption process.
