Maxx is between 11-13 years old. He was dumped at the shelter because the family said they were not sure if he would get along with the new baby. Unfortunately that is hard to believe since there was already an 11 and 12 year old in the house. From his paperwork it looks like he did not see the vet for the past 6 years and he needed a dental for at least 8 years. Once Rover Rescue swooped in to get him, that was all about to change. Maxx got a full check up and after clearing up a urinary tract infection, he had his much needed dental which relieve much of his pain. Maxx was placed on an antinflammatory for his back legs and his whole life changed. Maxx loves to jump on the couch for a much needed nap or to look out the window to make sure the neighborhood is safe. Maxx loves strolls around the block to get all his sniffs in. He sleeps through the night in the dog bed on the floor in his foster moms bed or on the couch. He is house broken, unless he has another urinary tract infection. Maxx has a condition with his nails that makes them painful and brittle so he is on a vitamin e, niacinomide and fish oil. All the extra supplements are easy to get from the drug store or amazon. Maxx has learned that being pet is a good thing and he loves his ears and neck rubbed. Maxx is a gentle soul who needs a soft place to land and give all his love to you. He has been in his foster home with multiple dogs and ignores all of them. Maxx is up to date on all his immunizations, microchipped and has already been neutered. To meet Maxx, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. His adoption fee is $150.
