MAX - TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier (short coat). #A4217451 Meet Max , a 16-year-old terrier mix with all the scruffy charm of a beloved little muppet. This sweet senior has clearly been through something heartbreaking - he flinches and cowers at even the gentlest movement, as if he’s been hurt more than once in his life. Despite his fear, Max’s quiet, gentle soul still shines through, and he’s looking for a kind, patient adopter or compassionate rescue willing to meet him exactly where he’s at, and with gentleness, warmth, and care. He’ll need time, space, and a safe, calm environment to decompress and begin to trust again. With plenty of love and understanding, this sweet boy’s mellow, affectionate nature is sure to return! Max deserves comfort, dignity, and a peaceful place to rest his head in his twilight years - will you open your heart and your home to this delicate little old man? -16 year old brown Terrier mix -14 pound neutered male -up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 6/18/25 as an owner surrender, but we have no notes and no idea why!
