Maxey's Story

Meet Sweet Maxie! Maxey's story is one of heartbreak and hope. This gentle boy once lived his best life on a Texas farm - surrounded by wide open space and people who loved him. But when his family had to sell their farm and move into town, Maxey just couldn't adjust to city life. Sadly, he was surrendered to a shelter... and ended up on the euthanasia list. We couldn't let that be the end of his story. His vet exam gave us some surprising news - It's not a torn ACL like we feared... he was likely run over by a car (or maybe a tractor) when he was young. Raised on a farm, his injury was never treated, and now his leg has grown shorter and a bit deformed. The good news? Maxie doesn't let it slow him down one bit - he's happy, gentle, and ready for a home! --------------------------------------------------- Happy Little Rescue, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, is a unique animal shelter. Our dogs spend their days frolicking in an open play area with the other dogs, and therefore have a good level of dog-dog socialization. We prefer to adopt our animals locally, but are open to discussing out-of-state adoptions for our longer-term residents, or harder-to-place pets.

Harmony Animal Matchmaker and Sanctuary's Adoption Policy

We prefer to adopt our animals locally, but are open to discussing out-of-state adoptions for our longer-term residents, or harder-to-place pets. We ask basic questions to understand the life style of the adopters and see if they meet the lifestyle of any of our current adoptable animals. Our standard practice is to never let a Harmony Animal be homeless so if at any point in the life of the adopted pet the adopted family is no longer able to care for their furry friend we will always take them back. In fact, our adoption contract states that if at any point you find yourself needing to relinquish your pet that you contact us and not another rescue or person to take them in, we always have room for our harmony animals and want to ensure they get the best home.
