Story
MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogsKellan is a LOT of things One thing she is - and we think most importantly of all ….Kellan is SAFE!!! Kellan is moderately vision impaired - she can see shadows and movement, particularly from horizon level down. She is able to track you and stay by your side without effort. She navigated a zero-perimeter pool today without issue and she never once bumped into the slider, walls, or other stationary objects when in a new environment. Kellan is full blown deaf - we thought maybe she could hear some things…. But dropped pots, squeakers, all the noises later… we are sure she’s not on the hearing spectrum. Kellan is the most confident handi-capable dog we have ever known. Kellan has two senses compromised and that doesn’t stop her one bit from being the most friendly baby there ever was! She’s accepting of dogs being over exuberant and ignorant of her conditions. She’s brave. She’s adventurous. She’s aware of her shortcomings and acts maturely in response, despite being only approx 16 weeks old. (As of 4/25) We cannot stress enough how darling this little thing is. She’s MAYBE 20-25# at this point. If you’re able and willing to give our precious Kellan the dedication, love, and commitment she needs to continue to learn how to navigate life with hurdles, please apply @maxxandme.org   kellan’s adoption fee is $300  all puppies adopted from Maxx&Me are required to undergo obedience classes - Kellan’s will need to be with an approved (deaf dog experienced) trainer. April 25, 2024, 8:22 pm

Story
Ralph is a 3 year old, 13 pound Pomeranian/Spaniel mix.  He has a beautiful thick fluffy coat, which we just put into a puppy cut for him.  He is a little shy and exceedingly gentle.  He is very attached to his sister, Terrilyn and probably needs to be adopted with her.   Ralph is already neutered and up to date on all medical.  He loves to play outside, is housebroken and he and Terri would make excellent family dogs.   If you are interested in Ralph and Terrilyn, please fill out an adoption application at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptions.   We background and vet check all applicants and are looking for a stable family to love these dogs for the rest of their lives.  April 25, 2024, 8:42 pm
