Maximus

Mini Schnauzer, Male, 9 years, 9 lbs Maximus is a smaller-than-average Mini Schnauzer with a large personality. He's a curious little guy who loves to be on patrol, and he's not shy about making his feelings heard, even if no one is around to listen. Though he's small and can fit practically anywhere, Maximus prefers to stay close to home. Once he's comfortable, he loves to be outdoors, so he needs a home with a physical fence that can provide a safe space for him to explore. When he's inside, you can find him trying to look out the window or curled up in his bed. He's not much of a snuggler, but he does seek attention from his people from time to time. At his age, Maximus is set in his ways about many things. Unfortunately, this means that he does not discriminate when it comes to where he'd like to relieve himself. He's also a bit of a scaredy cat and gets spooked by children and large dogs. ************************************************************************* We are currently only accepting applications within 90 minutes of Albany, NY, and due to Massachusetts State Regulations we are unable to adopt to residents of Massachusetts at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. ** If you are interested in adopting this dog, you must first complete an adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PEP/Dog/. Or visit our site (http://peppertree.org/category/available-for-adoption/) and learn about other Peppertree dogs. *Note: visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
