Hi! I’m Max! And if you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, I’m your gal. I’m a sweet little lady who’s very food-motivated (treats are definitely the way to my heart!). I settled into foster life right away and made myself right at home—especially on the couch… and sometimes the bed when I can sneak it.
Once I realized cuddling was allowed, it was game over. I’m a total cuddle bug! I love curling up in my foster mom’s lap and taking long, cozy naps. Being picked up is one of my favorite things, and I soak up all the affection I can get.
I’m gentle and easygoing, I let my foster mom brush me and clean my paws after walks with no fuss at all. I’m getting braver every day—on just my third day in the Big Apple, I officially walked around the block! City noises and people can still make me a bit nervous, but when I hear “Max” or “Max, come!” my focus snaps right back. With a little patience and reassurance, I’m happy to keep walking and find my groove, prancing along by your side.
Potty training? No problem for this gal! I had one accident when I first arrived, but once I settled into a routine and felt more relaxed, it hasn’t happened since. I love treats and chews, which will make me an absolute dream to train.
Even with all my food love, I’m very polite. I don’t beg when my foster mom eats—even if she’s sitting right next to me. I just quietly mind my business (okay, maybe a few polite sniffs for good measure—who can blame me??).
I adore soft pets and gentle scratches, and while I’m still a little shy with new people, my playful personality is starting to shine. I’m learning how toys work and figuring out how to play at my own pace.
If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, cuddly little lap dog who’s ready to blossom with patience and love, I might just be your perfect match!
