MAX

My story

#A4217451 Meet Max , a 16-year-old terrier mix with all the scruffy charm of a beloved little muppet. This sweet senior has clearly been through something heartbreaking - he flinches and cowers at even the gentlest movement, as if he’s been hurt more than once in his life. Despite his fear, Max’s quiet, gentle soul still shines through, and he’s looking for a kind, patient adopter or compassionate rescue willing to meet him exactly where he’s at, and with gentleness, warmth, and care. He’ll need time, space, and a safe, calm environment to decompress and begin to trust again. With plenty of love and understanding, this sweet boy’s mellow, affectionate nature is sure to return! Max deserves comfort, dignity, and a peaceful place to rest his head in his twilight years - will you open your heart and your home to this delicate little old man?  -16 year old brown Terrier mix -14 pound neutered male -up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 6/18/25 as an owner surrender, but we have no notes and no idea why! Poor Max has suffered terribly, and was unfortunately surrendered during what should’ve been the safe and peaceful twilight of his life -this darling old man is like an adorable scruffy muppet - full of shaggy charm!  -unfortunately, he's clearly been through something awful - the poor baby flinches, cowers, and even grimaces at any movement in his direction, no matter how slow or gentle the movement is, like he's been hit more than once in his life -sweet Max really deserves a kind, patient adopter or compassionate rescue willing to open their heart and home to him, willing to meet him where he's at and ready to go at his pace -needs lots of time and space to decompress and feel safe and secure, but once he's settled in and no longer feels threatened, Max's sweet, mellow nature should quickly reemerge -just needs love, comfort, and dignity during the twilight years of his life      MAX’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/Yon3lAqfLb   For more information, contact volunteer Karen at karenklink94@hotmail.com Photo Credit @ sashaisfurreal   Look up this or other animals at Baldwin Park Animal Care Center https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/view-our-animals/    Use their unique ID NUMBER.
