Feature Pet
Hi! I'm Maxwell and I'm looking for a great new home.
Maxwell is a senior neutered male Beagle. He is such a good boy and would be great for a family that is home most of the time. Housebroken. He is a bit of a chow hound, so could use walks every day to help him obtain his ideal weight. He would prefer to be the only dog, but might like a female companion. Call 672-9648 for more information.
Come by the shelter today and meet our other pets as well !!
Are you the person to make a difference in his life? If so, please call 662-8179 for more information.
