Once on land, there was no problem potty training him, but at first, you will have to get him on a schedule. Max was adopted and returned after just 2 days through not fault of his. Max is active, so if you're looking for a couch potato buddy, he might not be the best fit for your home. He loves to be with you, follow you around, or have you throw his favorite toy. He'll also play with other young, smaller dogs. Cats would be a no-no. Children 9 years and up only because if he jumped on them, he could knock them down, only in his excitement to meet new friends. He is highly food motivated, so he would need to be fed separately because he'll wolf his food down and want the others' meals. We are sending him with a slow-feed bowl to help slow him down, but he can still eat pretty fast. Max doesn't much like getting his nails trimmed, so a muzzle would be best when it needs to be done. If you are looking for a happy, very friendly boy who's up for anything, then Max is your guy! Our must-haves for fun-loving Max include: A fenced yard Another smaller young dog for him to play with, as he does love to play with other dogs and toys No big dogs Someone who can be home some of the time with him or who works from home The adopter must be active; couch potatoes need not apply No apartments, high-rises, or condos If you meet these requirements and want to add to your pack, then now is the time to apply for Max! ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.
