Max

My name is Max and Im looking for my forever home! Im 7 y.o. and weigh 33 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Farmington, MO, from a shelter. I was dumped there after my original owner sold me to someone who then tried to re-sell me online, but couldnt. So yeah, Ive been through a lot. I was so scared and sad and confused! But things are better once SIRA came to get me. My foster mom promised that none of this was my fault and that humans would never let me down again. Now that I realize Im safe here, Ive started to relax. I love to go for walks and to play fetch and tug. Ill toss my toys in the air sometimes to play with them. Im really good at tearing apart squeaky toys to get at the squeaker. And I really like attention from my foster family, especially belly rubs and petting. Im not a lap dog, but I like snuggling up right next to my human. There arent any kids here and my foster mom says little ones are probably not a good match for me since I am easily startled and might nip. I dont live with other dogs, but I am excited to see them when we go outside. I get really uncomfortable when they try to sniff my butt, though. There is a cat here and Im a very good boy I am never aggressive and I dont chase. Im a good boy in the house no accidents and I dont need to be crated. I havent chewed on anything Im not supposed to (just dog toys) and I havent tried to get into the trash. Im not a fan of having my nails trimmed, so foster mom asked the vet to do it. My perfect forever family will have experience with shy/fearful dogs and patience if it takes me a little while to feel safe. Foster mom thinks Id do best as an only dog, since I can be reactive to other dogs getting too close. Im neutered and vaccinated healthy and ready to find my happily ever after! If thats with you, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure well be a good match. Once approved, theyll introduce you to my foster mom, so we can meet!
