Meet Max — the Velcro Dog Extraordinaire
Dachshund Mix (possibly Beagle or other hound)
9 years
22 lbs
Fostered in Holly Springs
Quick Stats:
Loves cats
Gets along with small/medium dogs, but could be only
Housebroken
Great walker, car-ride champ
Crates are not his thing
Needs a single-family home (no shared walls)
Kids 8+
LOVES his person… like, a lot
Max is a certified Velcro Dog: if he could merge into your hoodie, he would. His love language is “personal space? never heard of her.” When you’re gone, he posts up on the back of the couch like a furry security guard waiting for your grand return. And he LOVES blankets and has the most adorable self-blanketing routine we've ever seen - check out the video in the comments.
He came into rescue when his elderly owner, who adored him, could no longer safely navigate around his enthusiastic under-foot devotion. After a few weeks in foster care, Max is thriving and officially accepting applications for his forever human.
Looking for a buddy for hikes, breweries, festivals, or casual neighborhood fame? Max is your guy. He makes friends easily, walks like a pro, and rides in the car like he’s training for a road-trip Olympics.
He’s housebroken and politely sits by the door when he needs out—though if you miss his signal, he may leave you a gentle “reminder,” so routine is your friend. Crates? Hard pass from Max. His new people will need to use a pen, leave him out, or be ready to work on slow-and-steady crate training.
Because Max loves hard, he will absolutely let you—and your neighbors—know when you’ve left the building. Single-family home required. He’d also prefer someone home more often than not. He adores cats, like LOVES them in a way rarely found in dachshunds. If his human isn't available, we often find him snuggling with the cat.
Max gets along with small/medium dogs. But this dude would also be happy to hog all the attention as an only dog. Big dogs in his home? No thanks. He randomly decides he's 100 pounds and tries to tell off the big dogs when they get in his space. But seeing big dogs on walks or out on adventures? Totally fine.
Max is neutered, up to date on shots, HW negative, freshly dentally tuned-up, microchipped, and working on shedding a few pounds (his beach-body era is coming). At first, we thought he had selective dachshund hearing, but we now think he has some hearing loss.
Max's new family will need to drive to Holly Spring, NC (Raleigh area) to adopt their new BFF. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, WV, or DC area. To get the process of adopting Max started, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application
If you want a loyal, goofy, affectionate shadow who transforms ordinary days into excellent ones, Max is ready to attach himself—lovingly—to your life.
And if Max isn't a fit for your family, share his bio so we can get this guy what he really wants for Christmas — his very own forever family.
