About dogs named Maxi

The following are 8 profiles of dogs named Maxi from our database of 27 dogs with the name Maxi.

• “Dog mom of a 13lb Pomeranian rescue who thinks he’s a Rottie. He’s not. He’s more of a stuffed animal/teddy bear that came to life.“

  — Audre M.

• “Beautiful, friendly young girl who needs a good friend who can match her playtime energy. She loves all of the kisses!“

  — Annabelle C.

• “My big boy is a 5 year old Rottie with big feelings but is the sweetest goof ball once he gets to know you!“

  — Nicole V.

• “I'm Maxi! I'm super laid back and chill, and mostly like to sniff around for critters, like bunnies and chipmunks. Sometimes I'll tackle Sam because it's fun. I get along with most dogs, but a puppy can annoy me if they're too in my face, and I might bark at them.“

  — Laura K.

• “Yipppyyy Yay!!! So so so nice to meet you! I am maxi, named after the Grinch’s dog! I have really long eyelashes, they use to be 7 inches long (yes my mama measured) but my daddy accidentally cut them off! He didn’t hurt me no worries, it was accident! I was a super hyper little pup that loves to follow my big brother around. You can find me soaking in the water like i’m a fish. I literally just plop down wherever i desire and watch the day pass. My curls are sometimes out of control too! When i meet new hoomans i tend to try to jump and give you a hug as my mama taught me how. My apologies in advance if that offends 🥰 I am a labradoodle!“

  — Logan B.

• “He likes to play a lot , he loves to chase the ball and to chew toys“

  — denisse l.

• “Hi guys! I love chasing things and exploring new spots. Naps and treats are my love language.“

  — Elizabeth A.

• “Woof woof! I’m Maxi! Sometimes they call me Marky / Marky Mark / Mean-Lean-Maxine amongst many other things, some I don’t think I can repeat here.🤭 I am a little, medium sized All American breed girl who is 8 years young. I have the mind and energy of a young teen and the body of a senior citizen. My DNA results show American Staffordshire, American Pit Bull and American Bulldog. I weight about 45 pounds, standing at roughly knee height to the average adult. My hooman took me in as a foster when she was working for Contented Critters Rescue Sanctuary (CC) at the Makinen, MN prior to CC’s relocation to Ely, MN. I’m from a South Carolina rescue shelter originally. I was a stray for many years, finally captured and shown true human compassion for the first time in a long time. No one claimed me and I was shown no interest after being available for adoption. I ended up on the euth. list due to the shelter overcrowding with multiple daily intakes and minimal space for many of us. CC pulled myself and 11 others off that list for a second chance at life in a new place in the fall of 2021 (WE ALL FOUND HOMES and are thriving to this day)! I was the oldest of the bunch, turning 6 in spring of 2022. From years on the street, my skin wasn’t in great condition which everyone was aware of. What they weren’t aware of was, I was coming up north with a heavy load of deep-rooted, traumatic baggage. Years of surviving on my own during my peak years rewired my brain a bit resulting in some behavioral issues. I have been working through my problems every day with medication and training these last 2 1/2 years. They say I can be stubborn and “set-in-my-ways” at times but I have learned a lot! Aside from some behavioral problems, I have medical as well. Lumps and bumps, scars from my past life, new scars from me being my crazy self, arthritis issues starting but most importantly, I HAVE NO TEETH… Well, I have teeth but not really. I have broken all my front ones, including my canines, down to the nub leaving my molars as the only teeth above my gum line. They don’t bother me and my vet says they look great for their condition!“
