About Max

Meet Max! This charming Maltese is looking for a forever home after being left behind by his owner. A kind neighbor took him in, but now Max is ready to find a loving family through our foster program. Max is about 5 years and 7 months old, and weighs in with a petite frame since he’s a small breed. He’s great with cats, dogs, and people of all ages, making him a versatile companion. He's also potty trained, enjoys car rides, and is good with grooming. While Max does have cherry eye, it’s purely a cosmetic issue that won't interfere with his sight or health, as advised by the vet. If you’re ready to welcome this sweet boy into your life, apply for Max today!
