About Max

My mother is 74 years old and is seeking to rehome two of her dogs. I am reaching out to several places on her behalf. They are both purebred dachshunds, both about 3 years old and weighing about 15 pounds. My mother has had several falls lately due to her dogs tripping her. We were recently forced to move from our previous home which had a fenced-in backyard to a home without one. They have never adjusted well to lacking a place to run/play. Their names are Max and Klein. Max has no known health issues but Klein has some behavioral issues, a history of seizures and poor eyesight. Max is very goofy and eager-to-please but he will need an area to eat by himself because he does get a bit food-aggressive. I feed him in the kennel and he seems to prefer having his own private dining area. He does bark a lot and he has a lot of energy. He is very smart and likes to pretend like he does not understand commands such as 'sit' and 'stay'. He just needs someone to train him properly. He also has a bad habit of chasing cats so please keep that in mind. I have tried to be as honest as possible when it comes to Max's nature and our situation. Both Max and Klein deserve good homes but my mother is simply not able to care for them properly. I am only staying with her temporarily until I find work. I am helping to care for them as they require a lot of attention but I will not be able to take them with me when I move. If you have any further questions, please let me know. I will be evaluating every potential lead carefully before I make a decision and I will ask many questions regarding the home that they will be moving into. The adoption fee is negotiable and dependent on if we have to drive somewhere out of town to deliver either Max or Klein. Thank you for reading this and thank you for your consideration.
