Introducing the heartwarming and resilient Maxwell! 🌟 This brave boy came to the rescue after being labeled a hospice case at the shelter due to a rare tick-borne disease called Hepatozoonosis. While it may sound daunting, the delightful news is that dogs like Maxwell can go into "remission" and enjoy long, happy lives! After following the right protocol, this sweetheart is not just surviving; he’s THRIVING and ready for his forever home! 🏡💖 Fostered in a loving home with another male pup and two energetic kids, Maxwell is the embodiment of joy! 🎉 He's incredibly friendly, goofy, and brimming with love — a true ray of sunshine. This lovable guy relishes his daily walks with his foster mom and can often be found hopping onto the couch for a cozy snooze. At about 55 pounds, he's the perfect mix of youthful energy and cuddle buddy. And let’s not forget his charm: this boy is already crate, potty, and leash trained! 🎾🙌 He’s smart and well-behaved, and despite all he’s been through, he can’t help but wear a radiant smile on his face—literally, he LOVES to smile! 😄 Maxwell’s ideal home is one overflowing with love and comfort for his golden years. While the doctors believe he could enjoy many more years of happiness, adopters should be aware that slight flare-ups might occur, requiring some additional medications in the future. 🩺 But fear not—in return for that little extra care, Maxwell will shower that family with an abundance of love and loyalty! 💞 He’s proven to be a fighter, and now he deserves to be someone's new best friend.
