Meet Max!

Hi. My name is Max. I am 15 lbs. and seem to be a mix of Terrier, Chihuahua, and maybe Corgi.

I was adopted in 2014 from MARS by a very nice couple who trained me very well (more on that later). They had a baby about nine months ago. Unfortunately, we learned that I am not a fan of small children. Sadly for me and my beloved humans, we concluded that it just couldn’t work out.  So (of course!) MARS took me back in to try to find me a new forever home.

My foster humans tell me that I am a very sweet, friendly, and cute dog. (Look at those ears!). And, if you are someone who wants a “turn key” dog, I’m perfect. I am 7 years old and completely house trained. I never have accidents in the house. I am able to sit, stay, lie down, and come to you immediately on command. I even do tricks such as “bang, you’re dead” and “stick em up.” I am a recent graduate of a leash walking class which cured my tendency to pull on the leash. I was top of my class.

Given my past, I need to be in a home without small children. I would love a fenced in yard. But it is not required. I also love to go on walks, even long walks. If I am being totally honest, the terrier in me also would probably prefer that I be the only dog in the house. Although I probably could adjust to living with another dog, once I got to know him or her.

I am happy just to be  with my humans. My foster mom mostly works from home and I love nothing more than to lie in my bed in her home office, preferably with the bed in the sun. I also love to sit on the couch with my humans when they are reading or watching tv. But, being the flexible and awesome dog that I am, I don’t mind staying home alone for the work day if you work full time. I can stay in a large kennel or have run of the house. You decide. But just know that I don’t chew stuff. Oh. I do like to sleep in bed with my humans. If that is not ok with you, I probably can be flexible about that too.

I am somewhat vocal. Sometimes I will sing/whine like a little bird when I am happy. I also sometimes whine to let you know I need to go outside to do my business. But I am not a gratuitous whiner. Basically, I am a perfect dog for the right family. I hope you will consider meeting me so I can show you in person how awesome I am. You can also see my tricks.
