About Max

Maltese / Poodle
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

PLEASE READ MAX'S BIO THOROUGHLY BEFORE INQUIRING. WE CAN ONLY RESPOND TO THOSE THAT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, THANK YOU** This is our goofy and silly little pup, Max! Max is a 15 month old, male Maltese/Yorkie/Poodle mix who is about 17lbs. This sweet boy was surrendered to us when his owner felt like she did not have the time for a rambunctious puppy. Unfortunately Max was not socialized in any aspect and came to us very skittish with touch. It took almost a month before we were able to pet him, brush him, and cuddle him. He still has issues with us getting a collar/leash on him. He also still does not like being picked up and you literally have to trick him to grab him. He is not leash trained at all and will definitely need work in that department. With all these issues, we only want him in an active adult only home or with children 13 years old or older. Since he is a skittish pup, we have to find him a very safe and secure home and we will be requiring a 3ft dog gate at the front door regardless if you have a secure screen door or a fenced in front yard. We DO NOT want him crated. He is a dog that will need to be hand fed for awhile to gain your trust and coaxed into eating, otherwise he just sits there and stares at the bowl. Max CANNOT be an only dog. He MUST have another YOUNG, ACTIVE pup about the same size as him that will rough and tumble play like he does. He cannot go into a home with a senior dog or a dog that does not like to play the way he does. This sweet boy was never given the opportunity to learn how to be a loved family member and so we must have a home with owners that will be patient, kind, and understanding with him that he will definitely take time to acclimate, trust, and feel safe in his new home. WE ONLY ADOPT IN LOS ANGELES AND SURROUNDING AREAS DUE TO AN IN PERSON HOME CHECK AND TRIAL PERIOD ARE REQUIRED. Max is in the Torrance area and with an approved application, we require a first meet/greet where he is. His adoption fee is $550. **If you meet ALL the requirements and would like more info or an application emailed to you, please contact us at: [email protected] or 310-990-2020.
