Max's Story

*PLEASE NOTE*: Expressing interest on PetFinder is welcome and encouraged, but all adoption applications must be submitted through the Rescued Rescuers website for consideration. Thank you for choosing to adopt!<br/>https://therescuedrescuers.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>Name: Max<br/>Age: 11<br/>Weight: 18lbs<br/>Sex/Spayed or neutered?: Neutered<br/>Coat: Smooth<br/>Color: Tricolor (formerly Black and Brown)<br/>Energy Level: Low<br/>Adoption Fee: $250<br/>Contact: martinez.adoption.2025@gmail.com<br/>Foster Dog's Location: Pensacola, FL<br/><br/>Hey Furriends, this is Max, the sweetest, tuffest 11 year old around. He likes getting chin and belly scratches, playing with toys, going on short walks, and cuddling under blankets. If there’s a blanket he’s under it. If there’s a lap, he’s sittin in it. <br/><br/>Max is one tough pup, he has IVDD as many of our special dachshunds do and had surgery when he was 4 and therapy a year later. Now he skips when he walks, but that may be because he’s such a happy dog. He goes outside to potty and sleeps in his own bed.<br/><br/>We think he has some recurring pain, especially when he’s extra tired, so we recommend keeping gabapentin on hand. We’d recommend he goes to a family where there aren’t any small children (visitors are okay) because Max doesn’t need a lot of aggressive playtime or little hands in his space. Families that are within a few hours of Pensacola may receive priority so we can offer Max continuity of medical care (and there’s a possibility that his adopters might want to continue his health insurance). If you have any questions, please reach out to Max’s foster family at Martinez.adoption.2025@gmail.com<br/><br/>If you want to help with this dog’s medical expenses:<br/>https://therescuedrescuers.org/how-to-help<br/><br/>If you want to adopt this dog, apply at the link!<br/>https://therescuedrescuers.org/adoption-application

The Rescued Rescuers, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
If you are interested in adopting one (or more!) of our Rescues, please fill out an adoption application at: https://therescuedrescuers.org/ Please note that we require all animals within the home to be current on annual vetting services. This information will be verified by your vet. If your pet(s) are not up to date on their annual shots, please make an appointment with your vet and take care of this prior to submitting an application. We will not approve any application until all vetting on current pets within the home is completed. After a vet check has been approved, a home visit will be scheduled with the pup(s) so that the new pup(s) can be introduced to the new family and environment.  This is to ensure the safety of the pup(s) as well as any current pets in the home.  If you would like to get involved in any way please visit: https://therescuedrescuers.org/how-to-help
