Maks is a 12-pound Shih Tzu with the soul of a cartoon character and the lounging skills of a professional napper. At first, he might come off a little shy — but give him a moment, and you’ll meet “Maximum Maks”: goofy, sweet, and endlessly entertaining.

Why He’s the Ultimate Quirky Companion
🐾 Master of the dramatic belly flop (aka: “scratch me now” pose)
🐾 Big fan of couch cuddles, chest rubs, and gentle butt bumps
🐾 Expert at mimicking other dogs — including their cutest habits
🐾 Loves short bursts of toy play before returning to belly-up bliss
🐾 Great on a leash and dog-friendly with all sizes

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm home with adults or older kids only
✔️ A resident dog to follow and learn from
✔️ A family who understands that “potty trained-ish” means consistency and belly bands
✔️ Someone who will appreciate his quirks and give him time to warm up

If you’ve got room on your couch — and in your heart — for a silly, snuggly, one-of-a-kind companion, Maks is ready to roll (onto his back) and make you laugh every day.
