Oh, hello you! Max here.
Pocket-sized, but I run a tight ship — the ship is your lap.
Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.
I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Oakland.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Thanksgiving — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Max

About Max
Small in size but big on love, Max is a 7-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua mix who's ready to find his forever home! This sweet, social guy loves people and is happiest when he's cuddling, being held, or soaking up affection. He's house-trained, knows "sit" and "come here," walks nicely on leash (with plenty of sniff breaks!), and has successfully lived with both big and small dogs. Max is mostly blind, but he navigates his foster home beautifully and adapts quickly to new surroundings. He'll thrive with a predictable routine and a loving family. He's also comfortable spending a few hours alone and sleeping in his crate overnight. Max has diabetes that's well managed with twice-daily insulin injections. He does best when injections are given quickly while he's eating, and his caregivers should be comfortable following his medical routine and handling needs. If you're looking for a devoted little companion with a big heart and lots of cuddles to give, Max might just be your match! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
