BIO:   Are you on the lookout for an extraordinary friend who will make every day feel like an adventure?  Look no further than Max!  This charming pup will greet you with the enthusiasm typically reserved for Greek gods and goddesses, ready to fill your life with joy. 

Max came from Georgia when he had to be given up due to family issues. Max is a small standard with a zest for life.  He is sweet and calm - an ideal partner for relaxing nights in or long walks through the neighborhood.  He adores spending time with you, always by your side and eager to soak up every moment.  You’ll quickly find that you’re the most fascinating person in his world!

This lovable pup is already housebroken and accustomed to using a doggie door.  He’s intelligent and quick to learn, responding well to commands.  Max enjoys cozy cuddle sessions while you watch TV, read or meditate, often snuggling under the covers at bedtime before migrating to his favorite cushy chair or dog bed for a good night’s sleep. 

One of Max’s endearing quirks is his playful obsession with his toys.  He loves to carry them around squeaking and chewing as he goes and will happily decorate your living space with them. Unlike other dachshunds, Max isn’t inclined to destroy his toys - he simply enjoys their company!

When it’s time for walks, Max approaches the world with uncontainable excitement making it feel like you’re pulling a sled full of happy huskies.  With some patience and training, he can learn to walk more calmly on a leash ensuring enjoyable outings for both of you.

No dog is perfect, but Max comes remarkably close.  He was cherished by his previous owners and is now ready to share that love with his forever family.  If you’re looking to add a warm, wonderful companion to your life and have the time and energy to help Max enjoy the great outdoors, we encourage you to apply to adopt him.

Our must-haves for fun-loving Max include:

• A fenced yard is a must
• Another smaller young dog for him to play with as he does love to play with other dogs and toys
• Someone who can be home some with him or work from home
• The adopter must be active; no couch potatoes need 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.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.
