Sweet Maxine is a gentle soul who found herself in a shelter after being rescued from a problematic situation in Alabama. Estimated to be around three years old, she weighs around 30 lbs and would benefit from a little extra nourishment to reach her ideal weight. Maxine is naturally shy and cautious, especially around men, likely due to her early experiences. However, once she feels safe, she quickly warms up, showing her affectionate side. She walks well on a leash and has been deemed house trained, though she may have an occasional accident as she adjusts to a new home. Maxine is currently in Alabama but will soon be heading to Maine, where she hopes to find a loving home that will help her forget the harshness of her past. Maxine's story has shown her resilience, and now she’s ready for a fresh start in a caring household.
