MAXI FOR ADOPTION IN CORNWALL/DEVON
š¾ From Maxi, With Love: This is My Story
Hello, I'm Maxi! š Iām a very petite, young, clever and playful Border Collie x Kelpie girl, and very cute, if I may say so myself. If youāre looking for a best friend whoās full of energy, affection and super smart, then I might just be your girl! š
I've been lucky to be loved, but my humans realised that I need more time, energy and adventure than they can give me. It was a big decision, but they want the very best for me - a forever home where I can truly thrive, explore and be my joyful, bouncy self every day. š
I was born in October 2023 and Iāve learned a lot already in my young life, things like sit, recall and even how to behave a bit better on a lead (well, mostly... I can still pull quite a bit!).
I LOVE other dogs, playing chase, learning new tricks and zooming around the garden like I own the place.
I am house-trained and pretty clean, but I donāt like going out in the rain and can have a little accident then if you donāt remind me.
Iām still young, so I get a bit excited and forget my manners sometimes... but hey, Iām learning!
I havenāt spent much time on my own and Iām still figuring out how to cope when my humans arenāt around. Once, when I had free run of the house, I may have redecorated some cushions⦠and when left in my crate, Iāve sometimes chewed up my bedding. I just get a bit worried, thatās all. With gentle guidance and a bit of routine, I know I can get there!
Iāve had all my vaccinations, including kennel cough and Iām up to date on flea and worm treatments. Iāve not been spayed yet. My next season is due any week now and my future family will need to get me spayed a few months afterwards.
True to my Collie and Kelpie roots, I used to get a bit too excited by passing cars, but my current humans have been helping me work through it and Iām getting much better! A little reminder or two and Iām back to walking nicely. I just need someone patient who understands me.
I can be a bit full-on for small humans (Iām not mean, just a whirlwind!), so I'd prefer older kids (10+) if there are any.
Cats⦠not sure if I can be their bestie...I did meet a cat once who didnāt run and just stood her ground. I gave her a sniff and was pretty polite, really! But⦠if a cat runs, Iāll probably think itās a fun game and want to chase. Sooo⦠maybe not the best housemate for a speedy feline. š
Iām looking for a home thatās got space, plenty of time and affection to give me, with people who love being out and about. Iād thrive with folks who understand lively young working breeds like me.
One of the lovely humans on the Paws2Freedom team met me recently and totally fell for me (I mean⦠who wouldnāt?). I was super friendly and totally enthusiastic. I just need someone with time, patience and a bit of know-how to help me fine-tune my manners, work on my impulse control and guide me as I keep learning. Deal?
For now, Iām still living with my current lovely family until the perfect home comes along.
If youāve got time to train me, play with me and cuddle up after all that fun... Iāll be the most loyal, loving shadow you could ever wish for.
I donāt have my very own page just yet (Iām the new kid on the block!), but if you think we could be a perfect match, please fill in the adoption application at the bottom of this page:
