Story

Maxwell is a 6 year old chihuahua red heeler mix who weighs roughly 16lbs. He is housebroken, doesn’t shed very much and enjoys quiet time on the couch. He’s very intelligent, knows all the basic commands and can learn more extremely quickly. He does not get along well with kids, cats or other dogs, but loves the adults he warms up to very much. Maxwell would be a good addition to a quiet, loving home where he can provide indoor company to someone looking for the leisurely lifestyle.
