Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Maxwell: Proof That Big Hearts Come in Small Packages This little senior silver Yorkie may look cute (and he is), but don’t be fooled—Maxwell is so much more than meets the eye. He’s living proof that you can’t judge a book by its cover! We posted a sneak preview of this wicked cutie when we picked him up to bring him into Rescue. Little did we know that he was going to be more special than we thought. Maxwell has special needs—he’s blind, hard of hearing, and learning to navigate the world in his own unique way. But don’t let that fool you; Maxwell is full of determination and charm: &#226&#156&#168 Achievements unlocked: Maxwell has figured out how to climb stairs and even come back down (with a little help from his humans). Friendship goals: He wags his tail and wants to be friends with everyone (even if he needs a little time to build trust). House manners: Potty trained, crate trained (loves a cozy carrier), and barks when he needs something—he’s got communication down! Cuddle potential: Maxwell loves couch snuggles once he feels safe. Maxwell is looking for a special home with someone who understands his needs and is ready to love him just the way he is. He’s made amazing progress but needs a patient, gentle hand to help him fully thrive. We have HUGE thanks to our friend Julie and her husband for agreeing to take on Maxwell as we learned about his needs.    Maxwell was found as a stray in a hospital parking lot. Thanks to a good Samaritan he was picked up and brought to safety. He was wearing a rabies tag which led us to his owner who was a 90 year-old woman who had recently suffered a stroke. She could no longer care for him and knew that he was able to escape her yard so she asked that we find him a safe and happy home. we brought him up-to-date on his vaccines. He has been neutered and his micro chipped. He had a benign tumor on his butt, which is why it took us a little while to post him as we wanted to get a clean bill of health first. Got a heart big enough for this tiny warrior? Let’s help Max find the understanding home he deserves, apply at 4luckydogs.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 30, 2025, 12:47 pm
