Max is an approx. 1yo, 14-lb tri-color chihuahua mix. He is an adorable medium-to-high energy young boy with a sweet, expressive face and an irresistible smile. He is equal parts playful puppy and affectionate cuddle bug, always happy to follow his person around the house before curling up beside them—or even falling asleep in their arms. Like any young pup, Max has a mischievous streak and enjoys collecting things to chew on, so he'll need appropriate toys and a watchful eye while he continues learning good puppy manners. He is now house trained - he had accidents when he first arrived in his foster home, but he hasn't had an accident in several weeks. He is very food motivated, making him a great candidate for positive reinforcement training. Max is walking great on leash now, he is only a bit hesitant when the harness goes on. Max loves toys, especially chew toys and soft squeaky toys, and enjoys running, wrestling, and playing chase with other friendly dogs. He is currently living happily with another young small dog and would likely enjoy a canine playmate. He would also do well as the center of someone's attention, as long as they would be able to socialize him regularly with friends'/relatives' young, playful dogs. He is curious but non-aggressive with cats. He is fine with kids, but due to his bitey playfulness and puppy energy, it would be best if they were older. He also will grab and chew shoes, socks and pillows - so some training for him would be best. He rides quietly and calmly in the back seat of the car safely tethered in, loves spending time outdoors, and is especially happy stretching out in the sunshine for a good sunbath. This active boy will need a fenced yard to run and play in. At night, Max sleeps comfortably in bed with his person or in his own bed nearby. He has no known medical issues. His foster family loves Max for his adorable smile, funny puppy antics, affectionate personality, and the way he brightens every room with his sweet, charming nature.
