Meet Max, an adorable Dachshund who needs a patient, calm home to truly shine. Initially shy, he transforms into a devoted shadow, loving lap cuddles and sun-soaking. Max is reliably housetrained, good with dogs and cats, and thrives with an older couple or single person who is home often. His ideal family understands slow introductions and is prepared for his door-darting tendencies and preference for non-stuffed toys.
Special Needs
