Maxi

If you’re looking for a super chill companion, Maxi is for you. He’s just happy to be around his family, loves sitting on a lap, and will follow you around being your happy little shadow, with a tail that never stops wagging. This little stumpy legged fella is a small size weighing in at just 11.5 kilos of happy tail waggin joy.
Maxi’s favourite thing is to be right in the middle of everything with his favourite people, following the human or canine members of the house around, just happy to be involved. Whether you are working from home or in the garden, or cooking in the kitchen, he will be right beside you lending his moral support and assistance. He also really loves sitting on a lap.
Maxi loves people and greets new people calmly and happily. He is comfortable being picked up and carried and having his paws touched, etc. We think he would be great with kids.
Maxi has excellent recall and picks up new commands quickly. He can get a bit excited by treats, but will sit on command, and is working hard on learning more commands. He is house trained, excellent on the lead and travels calmly in the car.
He loves all dogs and approaches them with calmness and a wagging tail. He has been living with 3 other dogs in foster care and loves to play with them and follow them around to be involved in all of their activities and adventures. He takes correction from other dogs calmly and won’t continue to get in their faces once warned.
Maxi is curious about other animals but doesn’t seem to want to harass them. He has not been tested with cats but we think his calm nature would be compatible with them.
Maxi is rather food driven and wants to share anything his people are eating (although he is very polite about it, just staring at you in case you decide to share.) He has been eating wet food and Science Diet dry food. He waits patiently for his turn to be fed and doesn’t try to steal the other dogs’ food.
Maxi is happy to settle down with a toy or chew when being left alone and doesn’t stress if you need to be out all day. He is happy to have a snooze on a comfy bed, couch or on a lap when nothing else is going on.
Maxi doesn’t love a bath but will allow it gracefully, but he does like a cuddle in the towel afterwards. He is very comfortable being touched, picked up, having his feet touched, and is very trusting with his people. Although he is not super comfortable having his nails clipped, he will allow it for a treat or 3.
Maxi is happy to sleep through the night on a comfy bed or in a crate, although he will insist on sharing his humans’ bed if they let him (and don’t be fooled by his tiny legs, he can and will jump up on your bed and snuggle up to you.) He loves nothing better than a cuddle on the couch in front of the TV and will jump on any available lap almost before you even have a lap.
Maxi loves a walk and is great on the lead, or happy just to follow his people and can be trusted off lead in a safe area. He loves having a sniff around outside and checking things out. Being a senior, he is not too high energy, so would suit a household where there isn’t too much going on.

Maxi’s ideal home would be with people who want to give him all the love and involve him in their daily lives. He would be a great family addition He would be happy with doggy siblings, or being your one and only, as long as he gets to have a play with a friendly dog from time to time. He would love a bit of backyard with secure fencing to sniff around in. He is a super sweet, funny little guy who will bring joy, laughter and love to his lucky family.
