Max is a 3-year-old blonde, scruffy mixed breed dog with the face of a tiny angel… and the opinions of a small, very determined man. He is adorable, charming, and deeply loyal — but Max is also a behavioral dog who will need a committed adopter who understands his quirks and is prepared to manage them long-term.
Max has already been in two homes, and it’s clear he needs something very specific to thrive. He is not a “take him anywhere, meet all the neighbors” kind of dog. Max is more of a “you’re my person, we stay home, we keep the circle small” kind of companion.
Here’s what Max needs:
🏡 Ideal Home
• A single woman
• No other pets (he does not do well with dogs or cats)
• No children, now or in the future
• A low-traffic household
• Someone who appreciates a dog who bonds deeply with “his person”
• Someone willing to maintain management and structure
• Someone who doesn’t mind that Max will absolutely pick favorites
⚠️ What to Expect
Max can be extremely protective of what he values — especially his person and certain resources. This behavior will require ongoing management and awareness. He is not a dog who should meet strangers casually, he is not a dog park dog, and he is not a multi-pet home dog.
💛 What Makes Him Worth It
In the right home, Max will adore you with every ounce of his tiny scruffy being. When he feels safe and understood, he is affectionate, quirky, and full of personality. He is hilarious, expressive, and fiercely loyal to the person he chooses. For the right adopter, Max will be a wonderful — and deeply devoted — companion.
Max is not for everyone, and that’s okay. But for the right person? He will be everything.
