Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Maxi! She is a fun-loving, sweet, playful lapdog.
According to Google AI image recognition, Maxi is considered a blend between a Rat Terrier and a Feist.
Maxi is approximately 1-1.5 yrs young and is full grown at approximately 10 lbs.
She is a gentle soul, always ready to listen to a secret or share a walk with you.
Her breed blend is very interesting:
A feist is a small hunting dog. This group descended from the terriers brought over to the United States by British miners and other immigrants. These terriers probably included crosses between the Smooth Fox Terrier, the Manchester Terrier, and the now-extinct English White Terrier.
These dogs were used as ratters, and gambling on their prowess in killing rats was a favorite hobby of their owners.
Some of these dogs have been crossed with Greyhounds, Whippets or Italian Greyhounds (for speed), and Beagles or other hounds (for hunting ability) - extending the family to include a larger variety of purpose than the original ratter, or Rat Terrier.
All we know is that Maxi would make a great addition to any loving home. She is spayed, up-to-date with shots and microchipped. She gets along with other small, gentle dogs and loves her humans.
See below for more information on how to adopt Maxi.

Please note:
We are located in Northern California, near Yosemite. So transportation logistics may be an issue. Especially if things do not work out, how would the orphan be returned to us?
Would you be the primary adopters? Responsible for future care, feeding and future annual vet visits and medical expenses? Please consider these things before applying.
