Max's Story

Meet Max!<br/><br/>Max is a 5.2 pound senior chihuahua looking for a kind and quiet home. He is estimated to be about 5 years old.<br/><br/>Max loves to snuggle, sit directly on top of whatever he can find, and he will play fetch until he passes out! Max is very spry and "fox-like" for his age, always hopping to his next destination. Max loves other dogs, cats, and older kids that are not overly loud. He doesn't chew or eat anything he's not supposed to and is a little shy around food, especially when other pets are present. <br/><br/>With his small stature comes nervousness. He doesn't like loud cars/trucks, or any sudden loud noises. He is a companion and shadow at his core and just wants to be held, cuddled, and loved. Because of that, he does have separation anxiety and a reputation for nervously marking things. He does very well in a crate, but would much prefer to sleep under the covers with you at your feet.<br/><br/>He can be vocal but isn't overly yappy. He's been called "quiet for his breed. He cries when he's alone for too long, and can get nippy when feeling anxious or threatened. Because of that he is not ideal for small or loud children but would thrive with a 10+ year old companion.<br/><br/>He is great at outings and loves to tag along for everything. Max is housebroken and semi-leash trained but hasnt really gotten the hang of going for walks. He will need a fenced yard but someone will also need to go out with him as he doesn't like to be outside by himself. He is loyal and loving and a perfect fit for someone who spends a lot of time at home. <br/> <br/>Max is neutered, up to date on shots, and is now on HW preventative. He is due for a dental and CRT is in process of getting this done.<br/><br/>Maxs adoption donation is $300.00 <br/><br/>If you are interested in the above dog, please do not email us and tell us that you are interested, but submit an adoption application. The link for the application is below.<br/><br/>To submit an application go here: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/<br/><br/>An application must be submitted and approved before a meet-n-greet can be scheduled.<br/><br/>Your current dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered unless a veterinarian has determined that your current pet(s) should not be fixed due to medical reasons. They must also be up-to-date on shots and on HW preventative.<br/><br/>Reference checks and a home visit are required so SE dogs can only be adopted in NC/SC, VA, TN, AL, MD and GA.
