Story
We have a transport to the east coast where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving in the beginning of March 2025. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Max to our trip for the right home 💙 Meet Max 💙 He is a 1 year old Poodle/Maltese. He is set to be neutered on 12/17/24 and will officially be available for adoption soon after. He will be current on all vaccines, microchipped, thourely examined, and cleared by our vet prior to adoption. I don't have his weight but I'll update it here as soon as I do. He is crate trained, and currently sleeps in his crate at night to sleep or to nap during the day. He is very well behaved so if you were wanting to have him on a dog bed aside yours in your room in place of a crate I'm certain he will do wonderful with the change. He is house trained, and goes out to use the restroom when needed throughout the day. He does very well with a schedule, and will happily go out when asked to if he needs to 😊 He is doing okay on leash, he isn't bad on it just still learning confidence in the world. He is the sweetest boy ever, just a a bit shy! I'm confident in his ability to learn that leash time is a happy time and one worth getting excited about! He is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike and has a very docile, submissive demeanor. He would do wonderful having another animal friend in his home that was equally tempered 💙 He is NOT a barker. He is quiet, and calm. Don't let his age deter you, as he has an old soul and would make any home complete in a way only he could! He is a total charmer. Loves to be snuggled. Is very independent and will lounge around while you tend to your day waiting patiently for you to clear your time for him ☺️ He is wonderful on road trips around town, and is just always happy to be included in life's ventures. He does very well with our groomer, and has learned the comfort of a good spa day so we welcomes them every time with a wagging tail 💕 His prior owners were a young family that had never owned a dog before and thought they could juggle work, family, and a dog but they realized he was getting less and less attention and knew it wasn't fair to him whatsoever being on the back burner to their lives and wanted him to have more, like he deserved to have so they reached out to us here to take him in and find him a wonderful new home and humans to love ❤️ If you are in search of a sweet friend who will love you with every fiber of his heart, I assure you that you'll be grateful for the love Max has to give you💕 His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/__max It covers his vet costs, the care associated in the time he has been here with us, his grooming costs, and the training we have personally done with him 💙
