Max

Professional cuddle buddy. Toy enthusiast. Proud owner of an irresistible underbite.Max is a 9-year-old, 15 pound mini poodle mix who proves that good things really do come in small, slightly snaggle-toothed packages. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, and he recently had an EKG and bloodwork that revealed a Grade 3/6 heart murmur. Max is on heart medication (a lifelong commitment), and he takes it like the very good boy he is.This little gentleman also has some allergies, so he’s on a hydrolyzed protein diet—which he absolutely loves. Seriously. Mealtime is one of his favorite events.

Max is truly a gem of a dog. He enjoys car rides, leisurely walks, and being as close to his people as physically possible during cuddle time. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and won’t redecorate your home—he loves toys but doesn’t destroy them. Fetch is a favorite pastime, and he takes his play breaks very seriously.

Max does best with other small dogs and may chase cats who lack confidence, so he’d prefer feline friends who can stand their ground (or a cat-free home). What he will do is make you smile every single day with his sweet personality and that adorable underbite that could melt even the toughest heart.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with excellent manners and a face you’ll never get tired of kissing, Max might be your perfect match.
