Little Miss Maxie is one lucky girl!   Rescued from Melrose Park, rushed to Aldine Animal Hospital because of her skin condition.   Poor Maxie's hair was gone and her skin was broken and bleeding from Demodex Mange.  This type of mange is non contagious and caused from bad nutrition.   Heart Worm negative which always makes us smile, poor baby was treated for hook worms and roundworms which would be expected for a dog on the street.     Maxie received immediate attention and medication and will fully recover with love and a proper diet.

Maxie loves to snuggle and be held tight.  She is a lover and appreciates all the attention and pampering she is receiving at her foster home.

The only thing Ms Maxie needs is a forever home that will love and protect her and never let her go.   She is one special little girl and we all know it and you will too the minute you look in her eyes and see the love she has for you!

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
