Meet Maxx Rebo!
Maxx Rebo is a 5-year-old neutered Maltipoo weighing just 9.5 pounds. This little guy is full of personality, curiosity, and charm! He is very observant and a bit "nosy" in the cutest way, always wanting to know what's going on around him. Maxx gets very excited when people leave or come home, often greeting you with happy barking, bouncing, and big energy. Once he bonds with you, he is extremely affectionate and loves to snuggle on his terms. Maxx has a more independent, cat-like personality when it comes to handling. He enjoys attention but does not like excessive petting and will clearly communicate when he's had enough. He has not bitten his foster, but he has shown warning signals and has attempted to nip during nail trims. Maxx communicates through body language, and if his warning signals are missed or ignored, he may escalate to biting.
Ideal Home
Maxx would do best in an adult-only home with no other dogs, where he can be the center of attention and settle into a calm, predictable routine. He needs a home where visitors are occasional, and someone who is comfortable managing him by putting him up when needed for everyone's comfort and safety.
Ongoing Health
Maxx is neutered.
Training & Support
Maxx will need an experienced dog owner who understands small dog body language and behavior. He will need a home willing to let him decompress at his own pace before any handling, move very slowly, and use patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to build trust. Maxx thrives with someone who respects his boundaries while also giving him love, structure, and consistency.
