Maxine - Spaniel and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Sonoma, California

Maxine is a sweet little Spaniel/Chihuahua mix with a gentle heart and a very special story.

Through it all, Maxine has remained incredibly friendly, loving, and sweet. She has been a devoted mama to her puppies, and now it's her turn to be cherished.

Maxine is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and ready for a safe, loving home of her own.
