PLEASE HELP MAX!

Max needs a foster home & heartworm treatment!

Last week was a busy week around here:) On top of the call regarding Lexi and her 9 pups - we received the following plea for help:

My boyfriend and I rescued a dog, Max: a malnourished, abandoned lab mix that was left chained to a tree. We took him to the vet and were told the horrible news that he has heart worms. We are college students, with one dog already, and we cannot afford his treatment. We've been looking around some shelters to give Max up to, yet all of them said they were full. Just recently we went to a shelter who told us that the best thing to do for Max is to euthanize him. We really don't want that for Max; he deserves to live. We were just wondering if there was any way you could help?

It is hard to believe that a shelter would recommend euthanizing this adorable, young dog! We are guessing the recommendation was a result of Max being a young, adult, heartworm positive dog - with little chance of being adopted from a municipal shelter.

Obviously - from the number of Heartworm positive dogs PAWS rescues, treats and places successfully - we know (that with your help and support) Max will not only receive the treatment he needs but will also find his way to a loving new home.

We are so glad that Max's rescuers reached out to us. It would be tragic if this boy lost his life just because someone dumped him and did not keep him on heartworm prevention.

Max is a friendly, sweet boy - possibly Lab/Border Collie mix. He is approximately 1.5 years old and weighs 40 lbs. He gets along well with other dogs and humans.

Max needs an indoor FOSTER HOME before the end of the month that will take care of him through his heartworm treatment. If we do not find a foster home for him - Max could land at a shelter where his chances of adoption will be very slim. Max also needs donations to help pay for his treatment (approximately $300 - $350.)

Please help us to help Max!
