Story
Max is approximately 7 to 9 years old and came to us for a second lease on life. He was one of 30 chihuahuas in a hoarding situation and didn’t know how to be a dog before foster care and eventually adoption. He takes a very long time to warm up and would probably be best as an only dog going forward. He’s been great with our child and older senior dog but has exhibited increasingly worse behavior with our daughter’s younger dog coming into the home. He has done well with other kids when they come over but is very easily overwhelmed and does not like loud environments. He is well trained but his new habit does include marking in the house and we have tried everything to break him of it. I’m heartbroken to try and part ways with him but I’m at the end of the rope trying to manage his behavior. He loves to be pet and snuggle in his human’s bed. He loves to tuck himself into a blanket 360 degrees around and be cozy. He’s a goofy boy and does bring a lot of joy.

*Adoptions are currently by appointment. If you'd like to learn more or you are interested in adopting, please use the "Apply for Adoption" button to complete our adoption survey. This survey helps us learn more about you and answer any questions you may have, it is not a commitment to adopt.* Hello, my name is Elvis and I am looking for those lovely Chihuahua lovers. I am a sweet old man with limited vision but an unlimited amount of love! I get along with other calm dogs my size and really prefer snuggle time over play time these days. I recently had a neuter and a dental and was given a clean bill of health (minus my cataracts) from the medical team here at C.A.R.E. If you have room in your home and your heart for a sweet old man like me, call us or fill out an adoption survey today!
