About MIX and MAX

Meet Mix and Max, two adorable 11-month-old bonded sisters looking for their forever home together! These sweet girls weigh approximately 20 lbs each and are both spayed. Their journey started at a municipal shelter where they faced a very uncertain future, but thankfully, they were rescued and given a second chance. They were adopted in Korea but sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, their previous adopters could no longer care for them. Now, they're being lovingly fostered by a volunteer team in Korea, patiently waiting for their turn to find a stable and loving family.

Despite their past, Max and Mix are incredibly resilient, gentle, and sweet. They are playful, love their toys, and enjoy each other's company. They have moderate energy levels and thrive on routine. While a bit shy initially, they warm up with kindness and patience, blossoming into affectionate companions once trust is established. They generally get along well with other dogs, showing curiosity rather than fear. They are comfortable with handling when they feel safe and don't show signs of separation anxiety, as they rely on each other for comfort and confidence. They are still learning leash manners and building confidence in new environments, so a calm and patient home is key. Loud noises can startle them, so a gentle guide will help them feel more secure. Both girls are active and agile, so secure fencing or close supervision is a must when they're outdoors. Max and Mix share a deep bond, and we're looking for a committed adopter who will cherish them as a pair. You can tell them apart by their noses: Mix has a brown nose, and Max has a black nose.

Ideal Home

  • A committed adopter willing to keep both sisters together.
  • A patient and calm environment to help them build confidence.
  • Secure outdoor space or attentive leash handling is essential due to their active nature and jumping ability.
  • A loving home ready to provide them with the stability they deserve after their journey.
  • Homes without children under 8 years old are preferred.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned, and they are spayed.

Training & Support

Max and Mix are still learning leash manners and gaining confidence in new environments. Gentle guidance and patience are essential, especially with loud or sudden noises. They may need some time to adjust to family life, but with understanding, they are sure to blossom into confident companions.
