Papillon and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Santa Clara, California

Max
is a super sweet, tender-hearted pup who is looking for a patient, loving home. While he may be timid at first—often preferring to watch the world go by from a cozy, safe spot—he has a heart of gold and is incredibly gentle when he warms up.

Energy Level?
Medium

House trained?
No, we keep him in a pen with potty pads when we can take him outside. But he is smart and very eager to please his human. He will get it in no time with consistency.

Describe how they are on a leash?
He is not used to walking on a leash, but is much better with a harness. Max does not like being pulled by his neck with just a collar. Currently, I have fastened the Martingale collar to the harness in order to be able to practice walking on a leash for his safety.

Describe how they are with other dogs?
Max is friendly and great with other dogs.

Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?
Max is great with the resident dog. I have found them snuggling together on the couch. He has passed the cat test and would be fine with cats.

Commands they know?
Max comes when you call him, but he hasn't had much training and would definitely benefit from basic training.

What are their favorite things?
Cuddles, hanging out outside, playing with plushy toys, and mealtimes.

What do they need to work on?
Building confidence, basic training, and leash training.

How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?
Max sleeps when he is left alone. He may cry for a few minutes at first, but he stops within 5 minutes. The longest time I have left Max at home is 5 hours, and he did just fine.

Where do they sleep?
Max sleeps on his bed in his xpen.

What is their ideal home?
With patience and consistency, sweet Max would do great with any family.

Max is 3 years old and 10.71 pounds.

The Adoption fee is $325.
