Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Name: Maximillan DOB: 2/8/2014 Weight: 9 lbs Adoption Fee: 375.00 Greetings Hoomans! I’m Maximillian, Max for short, and I recently relocated to beautiful Minnesota via Texas. I am very excited to be here and thankful for all the Minnesota Nice! Why am I here you ask? Well, sadly I lost my family and home in Texas and some nice hoomans in Texas thought I needed a new start in life and gave me a one-way ticket to beautiful and cold Minnesota. And might I say you folks take your cold weather seriously. I’m hoping the sun will shine soon! Regardless, I am very happy to be here. In fact, my MN foster Mom calls me Mr. Happy because I’m always running around with a smile on me fuzzy face and dancing my little Irish jig! I’m guessing you want to know more about me if you are checking out my page, I’m happy to share. Well, I was born and raised in Texas, I’m a very handsome older petite 6-pound gentleman, a little over 6 years old, looking for a new start on life with a loving hooman family. I’m so small I could fit right inside your lovely purse. I’m a very happy guy and enjoy hanging with the larger lady dogs, but not so much with guy dogs. I love cuddling, scratches especially on my back and ears, long naps in my dog bed with a soft throw blanket, squeaky toys, treats, baths, stuffed kongs and being the only dog in the home. As I mentioned above, I’ve had some difficult times lately which is requiring me to repeat potty training. I’m learning to tell my hooman when I need to go potty. I’m pretty good when my foster mom is home and she keep an eye on me, we are working hard on getting on a regular potty schedule. But when she leaves for work, I spend my day napping in my bed inside an x-pen and I use a puddle pad. It’s a work in progress and I’m confident I will be fully potty trained soon. Did I mention I’m an excellent snuggle buddy and I need my beauty sleep, so I sleep through the night; not a peep from me. And, I love to sleep in my crate, I go in as soon as my foster mom says, “crate Max!” You know how I mentioned that I lost everything back in Texas, well now that I’m here in Minnesota I’ve started to collect new toys and I just don’t want to loose them again so I’ve become a bit protective and yes I’m a toy hoarder. I’m allowed to play with them when my foster mom is home, but I cannot take them back to my x-pen or bed because I get a bit possessive. If I do, she distracts me with a kong and collects them from my hiding spot. Therefore, it would be best if I shared a home with hoomans 12 years and older that would be respectful of my personal space. Also, I should mention I get scared sometimes and will sing, my foster mom calls it howling, so apartment living is not an option for me. It’s my dream to be the only dog/fuzzy butt in a home with a wonderful loving hooman or family of older hoomans! So, if you’re looking for a small bundle of love with a fuzzy butt, waging tail and low activity level, I’m your man! Feel free to complete an adoption application and my foster mom can answer any questions you might have about me. Hope to hear from you soon.
