My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Max is a very sweet and playful, five-year-old, 14-pound, male purebred Shih Tzu looking for a loving guardian.

This fellow is almost blind and diabetic, so he’s looking for a dog-lover with the ability to give him loving care and insulin shots every 12 hours.

Max is housebroken and crate-trained. He’s great with people of all ages – including children, dogs and other cats. He does like to hump other dogs, so he’s best with tolerant dogs.

He loves his walks and enjoys rides in the car. He loves to dance on his hind legs for freeze dried liver treats. Due to his diabetes, he is on a raw diet to avoid sugar spikes.

Despite his health issues, Max is a very loving and good-natured boy who will re-pay his adopter with years of love. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm and fecal tested, and micro-chipped. If you would like to meet and possibly adopt this very special boy, please contact Maria at mltherese@gmail.com He is being fostered in Lincolnwood, Illinois. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Rescue Tails Animal Welfare.
