Maximus's Story

For inquiries email lynne@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $400 Location: Suffolk, VA Meet Max! A 12 year old, 8 pound Shih Tzu (mix). Max was surrendered to the Norfolk Animal Care Center when his owners could no longer care for he and his housemate and we scooped him up quickly. We took one look at his face and knew we had to have him. He arrived in foster care on Wednesday, February 24, 2026. Of course, we are just getting to know him but he is a love bug so far. Max is up to date on his vaccines, neutered, microchipped and ready for his fur-ever home. Please stay tuned to our website and social media channels for more photos and updates.
