Story
Is this cold weather getting you down? My name is Max and there is nothing I love more than to be close to my person; so let me hop on up and keep you warm. I’m a 4-year old, 12 pound male Chihuahua mix and I’m still getting used to all of the new things happening in my life: meeting new people, exploring new houses, making new dog friends, healing from my new neuter… It has been overwhelming at times, but don’t get me wrong- once I warm up to new things I’m super calm and totally down to adventure!
I’m pretty good on a leash and love following my foster brother around! I am housebroken and I am crate trained, but it isn’t my favorite place to be. I cry for about 10 minutes when I go in there, but I’ll sleep there with no issues and settle down quickly if I have to. I sure would prefer sleeping with my new person or on my very own bed. I ride really well in the car too! Even better when I snag the doggie booster and can look out the windows!
Living with another dog would be great- I’ve been friendly with all dogs I’ve met so far, from 10 to 65 pounds, but I’d be ok as the center of attention, too. I do get nervous at first, especially with fast movements near me, so respectful dog-experienced kids are a must if I have to live with smaller people. I have not been around cats, but I don’t show much interest in squirrels when I go on walks, so I would probably be ok with cats with a proper introduction. I am house broken, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Once I’m used to a new place I’m pretty quiet unless someone knocks on the door or my foster brother gets me riled up, but that’s pretty rare.
Oooh! I want to meet you! I’m cute, I know my name, I think I’ll eventually learn to sit, even though I don’t see the point because I’m only 5” off the ground. And I’ll also do just about anything for a hot dog! If you want to meet me too, please fill out a statement of interest and mention Max! https://alternativehumanesociety.com/statement-of-interest-dog/
