Additional adoption info
WE ARE A FOSTER BASED ORGANIZATION WITH NO SHELTER! OUR ADDRESS IS A MAILING ADDRESS ONLY. Due to the volume of emails we receive we do our best to respond however we can not respond to all inquiries. If your application is approved we will contact you.
The first step if you are interested in one of our rescue dogs is to submit an adoption application available at www.maxxandme.org
Once your application is approved which involves a vet check, personal references, home checks, phone/email exchange with one of our volunteers we then will set up a meet/greet with the rescue pet if available. We do not set up any meet/greets without an approved application. Please understand we sometimes have multiple applications received for the same rescue dog. We will place our rescue dogs in the home that is the best fit for the dog.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
