Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 320. Maxwell – Your Next Tiny Hero with a Giant Heart Maxwell is the kind of dog that reminds us why senior pets are absolute treasures. At 9 years young, this dapper silver Yorkie may have a few extra miles under his paws, but he’s still got a whole lot of love—and spunk—to give. (And fun fact: Yorkies often live 13 to 15 years, and some even into their late teens—so Maxwell may still have many wonderful years ahead!) Originally thought to be completely blind, we’ve since learned that Maxwell can see shapes and shadows. And while his hearing isn’t perfect, his heart sure is. This little gentleman is the full package: potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and an expert in cuddles and belly rubs. He’s a lap dog extraordinaire who also enjoys car rides and exploring the world through his nose. His favorite hobbies? Snuffle mats, licking mats, and being your loyal sidekick. Maxwell’s story is as special as he is. He was found as a stray in a hospital parking lot and reunited with his elderly owner, a 90-year-old woman who had recently suffered a stroke. Knowing she could no longer keep him safe, she made the heartbreaking decision to entrust him to us so he could find a loving home. Now, Maxwell is healthy, fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and ready to start his next chapter. He may need a bit more patience and understanding, but in return, he offers unwavering companionship, gentle affection, and the quiet joy that only a wise little soul like him can give. If you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to a senior dog, let Maxwell show you how beautiful that decision can be. Ready to meet your tiny warrior? Apply to adopt Maxwell at 4luckydogs.

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
