My story

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

✨🐾 HI! I’M MAX — AND I’VE BEEN WAITING JUST FOR YOU 🐾✨

Okay… I’m going to be honest.
I’m 15 pounds of fluff, charm, and pure joy wrapped in a silver, black & brown poodle mix body — and yes, this smile is real. 😁💙

👋 About Me:
🐶 Name: Max
🎂 Age: 4 years young
⚖️ Size: 15 lbs (perfect lap + adventure size)
💙 Neutered Male
🧸 Toy Lover Extraordinaire (bones & squeakies are LIFE)

When I’m happy (which is often), I do the cutest little dance around the house — it’s impossible not to smile when you see it. I’m an independent lovebug, meaning I enjoy my own space but also LOVE my people once I know you’re mine. 🥰

🐾 My Vibe:
✨ Non-destructive
✨ Working on crate training like a champ
✨ Besties with female dogs of all sizes
✨ Prefer not to share my space with high-energy large male dogs

👀 A Few Honest Notes:
🐕 Cats & kids are unknown
🚩 I do mark sometimes — but guess what? We’re working hard on it! Belly bands and a squirt bottle work great, and I’m making progress every day 💪

✅ Fully Ready for My Forever Home:
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Up-to-date on vaccines
✔️ Heartworm & tick-borne disease NEGATIVE

I’m healthy, happy, and READY to love you forever. And let’s be real… how can you resist this face? 😍

More about this shelter

Hello! Thanks for checking us out. We are a 501-c3 non profit rescue and rehab service in Tucson, AZ

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs from the streets of Mexico in cooperation with other animal rescue organizations in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Our shelter in Hermosillo, Sonora, Vidas Con Causa, currently has over 150 dogs. There, we provide medical care and a loving place for them to heal before coming to the US, then we foster and work on finding the perfect fit for adoption. You can also visit the available dogs at the rescue in Mexico. Our rescue partners spend a lot of time getting to know the dogs and we know MOST of their
perks and quirks!

We help special needs dogs, the amputees, the pregnant Pitties, the MexiMutts, those from small independent shelters who don't get much notice, the cancer patients. We provide round-the-clock care until these dogs are ready for rehoming.
