Big Max is an absolute sweetheart! Get ready to get lost in this precious Min-Pin's eyes and want to kiss his snoot all the time! He's approximately 5.5 years old, 16 lbs., and neutered.
It's important to know that Big Max is a breeder surrender, which means he's lived most of his live in far less than ideal conditions. He's therefore skittish, skeptical of most things, and loud noises tend to startle him - but he's already made SO much progress in the last few days since arriving in New York!
Personality & Characteristics: Curious, sweet/gentle, kind and welcoming with other dogs, great appetite, loves to nap!
My foster dog is good with: Dogs, but calmly - not taking to dog parks right now to more slowly acclimate him to city life
My foster dog is: Low shed, goes potty outside
3 Keywords for your pup: Timid, gentle, calm
Energy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 2
Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: Quiet, haven't heard a bark yet!
Walking Manners: Such a good walker considering he's new to NYC - occasionally jumps back/startles with motorcycles/loud trucks but otherwise, he's on a mission!
Appetite: Excellent; eating two full meals a day and treats sprinkled in
Does the following: Nervous outside but making tons of progress already and struts down the streets of Brooklyn, great sleeper, not the biggest fan of the bath but lets it happen :)
Favorite Things: Naps and being held/stroked on his head between his eyes
Commands/Tricks: Already responding well to 'come', 'stay', 'drop/leave it'! Not pushing hard on training right now given timidity/adjustment period.
ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at WaldosRescue.org and once you are approved to adopt, you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE, not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog. We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.
Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States.
