SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Max is a very sweet dog who recently came into rescue when his elderly owner became ill and no longer able to care for him. He was clearly a lap dog, but is also still quite active. 10 years is middle aged for a dog his size. We are seeking a home for Max with no children or older children as we don't know whether he has been exposed to youngsters before. His small size makes him injury prone if not handled appropriately. We would like to find a home with an experienced pet owner who has a good amount of time to spend with him. He likes other small dogs.

Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Petfinder inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of the dog and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and the dog at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting the dog and determining that it matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
