Meet Max!
Max is an adorable little guy who is looking for his forever home after being surrendered to Mutt Life Dog Rescue by a local family who needed to find him a new home. His previous owner originally took Max in for a coworker who was no longer able to care for him and was planning to rehome him herself. We were happy to step in and help make sure Max found a safe and loving place to land.
We believe Max is likely a Yorkie/Maltese mix, although his breed is our best guess. Whatever he is, he is absolutely adorable and has a wonderful personality to match! Max is a confident, good-natured boy who enjoys being around people and has done great with kids, including being around a baby.
Max is potty trained, although he has marked in his foster home about 3 times since being here and is learning not to do that. He is scheduled to be neutered on 9/11, and we are hopeful the marking will resolve after being neutered. He is also crate trained. He may bark in his crate for a little while when his people are home, but he settles down after some time and does well when left alone. Because of the barking in the crate, an apartment may not be the best fit for him.
Max is great with other dogs, cats, and even horses! He does not chase the horses and doesn't bark at them, so he could be a great match for a farm home or an equestrian family. He is a decent leash walker and may pull a little, but overall does well. He is also good off leash and has a great recall.
Max has some energy and would love a home where he can go for walks, run around in a yard, or have another dog to play with. He isn't a crazy-high-energy dog by any means, but he is also not looking to spend all day as a lap dog who rarely leaves the house. He would enjoy a family who wants to include him in their daily life and give him opportunities for walks, playtime, and exercise.
Max is currently in a foster home in Cedarburg, WI, and is ready to meet his forever family!

Max is a sweet, confident, easygoing little guy who would love a family that will give him plenty of love, walks, playtime, and opportunities to be part of the action. We think he would be especially happy in a home with another dog, a yard, or even a farm/equestrian lifestyle.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it’s the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $125 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
