Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Age: 14 years
Hello there~ I am one of MaxFund's most special doggies ever! I'm a wonderfully handsome and friendly fellow who loves everyone. EVERYONE. Kids, other dogs... I just can't wait to meet and love them. Here's the scoop: I have terminal cancer and have only months left on this Earth. Nothing can be done to cure my condition, but I don't know that, and I don't let it get me down in the least! I'm just looking for my next tasty meal, several reassuring pats and plenty of LOVE. I'm not in any discomfort right now because the kind veterinarians here are treating me with pain management for my arthritis and special foods for my well-being. I greatly enjoy short walks, and am just thrilled to have spent so many interesting years living a very rich life. I was found as a stray, but the great MaxFund folks can tell that I have story upon story to tell (if I could) about all my wonderful adventures throughout my years. MaxFund realizes that it will take a very understanding and kind-hearted family or person to let me spend the rest of my days in a comfortable home, knowing that we'll all have to say good-bye at some point. Are you that special person? Gee, I sure hope so! I'm house-broken, incredibly well-mannered, and the BEST that MaxFund has to offer. You can also choose to foster me! As a foster parent, all my medical needs and medications will be covered by the shelter. Just contact Anne at fosters@maxfundvolunteers.org. If you can do just one great thing in life, it would be opening your heart and home to special me.
Love, Copper
UPDATE! MaxFund has received many offers to foster me! I am very grateful that so many folks are willing to give their hearts and homes to special me. I am now in an impeccable foster home. Thank you all for your kind words and offers. This speaks volumes about humankind, and I so appreciate you! Please know that my last months on this earth will be carefree and happy. Much Love, Copper
