MAXINE - PAPILLON / ITALIAN GREYHOUND / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Papillon / Italian Greyhound / Mixed (medium coat). What's not to love about Maxine? Maxine is estimated to be around 7 months old, and she is an adorable girl with the cutest personality. She can be bashful at times, but once she settles in, she is a playful and goofy puppy who loves to have fun. Maxine currently weighs about 10lbs and we think she will grow a little and be around 13lbs when fully grown. Maxine came to us from a local shelter. She and her two sisters were found as strays and were never claimed by a family. One of her sisters was adopted, and the other is safe with another rescue. It's now this sweet girl's turn to get her fresh start with her fur-ever family! Maxine came to us suffering from kennel cough, but she is now all better and ready to go! She has blossomed in foster care and has turned into a spunky and fun girl. She loves to race around the backyard and is slowly learning how to do normal dog things. She can still be unsure in new places and when meeting new people, but we know that with a little help from her family, she will grow up to be an amazing companion. Maxine is still learning all of her basic manners, so she will need a family dedicated to helping her learn. Maxine loves other dogs and has become BFFs with one of the younger dogs in her foster home. She would love another dog to play with in her new home, but she could also do well as an only dog with frequent opportunities to socialize with dog friends. We haven't seen Maxine around cats, but we think she may do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and proper supervision. Maxine has been doing great living with kids and could be a wonderful addition to a family with respectful kids 7 years and older. Maxine is still working on her housetraining, so her new family will need to be patient with her and be consistent with her training to help her succeed. She hasn't spent too much time alone since her foster mom works from home, so she would do best with a family that can slowly acclimate her to being left alone. Maxine is such a darling girl, and she can't wait to be your new best friend! If she sounds like the pup you need in your life, submit an application today! Maxine's adoption fee is $450.
