This helps ShepHeroes with pet care costs.
Maxim's story touched many hearts on his path to rescue. Please join us in welcoming this orphaned young pup who witnessed his mama hit by a car, staying tucked into her side until they were both rushed to the emergency hospital. Sadly, his mama succumbed to her injuries, and thankfully, Maxim's exam revealed that he was not hurt.
Maxim just arrived in his foster home. We'll give him a few days to settle and share with you all that we learn about him. His foster home has two resident dogs, one of which is a ShepHeroes alum. We know that Maxim lights up around other dogs, and he's very sweet and smart.
While at the shelter, he spent time in the staff office enjoying people time, chewing bones, playing with toys, and practicing "sit" for yummy treats, showing that he's both treat-motivated and eager to learn. We look forward to sharing more about this three month old boy with you as he maybe just the right pup to light up your life!
Although all puppies require time, energy, patience, and love to raise, shepherd puppies require an extra commitment to raising neutral adult dogs. When Maxim becomes available for adoption, we ask that adopters interested in him have experience with shepherds or similar herding or working breeds and the time and resources to commit to structure, environmental exposures, and training.
As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters. An overwhelming number of shepherds in our local shelters need our help for a fresh start. Would you be willing to share your home and part of your summer to help shepherds find new families? You provide the love, and we'll provide everything else! Saying "yes" today truly saves a life. Complete this https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we'll be in touch ASAP! We appreciate your consideration.
