My story

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

We are looking to re-home our beloved Maximus. Max has been with us since he was 8 weeks old. He has been with us as we have grown as a family, moving from studio apartments in the city, to our house in the suburbs. From being our only "child" to now being 1 of four boys in our home. Unfortunately, with twin toddlers and a newborn baby in the house, we can not give Max the love, and attention that he so rightly deserves. Max loves to chase you around the house with his toy stuffed animals, to go out in the yard and run around in the grass, and to sit under the dinner table in hopes of getting some leftovers.
This decision hasn't been an easy one for us, and I have delayed it as long as I possibly could, but now is the time to find "Maxi" (as we call him), a new loving home.
He recently turned 10, and has been healthy throughout his entire life. As with most Shih Tsu's max does get yeasty, and is prone to ear infections. Otherwise, he is healthy, exuberant, and youthful.
