Instead of being given time to adjust or grieve, she was taken to a dog pound by relatives who intended to euthanize her. Thankfully, her rescuer happened to be there that same day and offered to take her instead. And just like that, her life was saved.<br/><br/>When she first arrived in rescue, Maxima was deeply fearful. She barked at dogs and people alike, overwhelmed and unsure of the world around her. After losing her person, it's believed she experienced mistreatment that left emotional scars.<br/><br/>Her rehabilitation took time, patience, and the guidance of a professional trainer in Colima, Mexico. Slowly, she learned to trust again. Step by step, she discovered that she was safe.<br/><br/>Today, Maxima is confident, loving, and ready to belong to a family again. Her journey shows incredible resilience — she simply needed someone to believe in her.<br/><br/>Ready to Welcome Maxima?<br/><br/>Maxima is currently waiting in Mexico for a committed trial home so she can travel to the Pacific Northwest.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please apply at:<br/>www.northwestwagrescue.org<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $600.<br/><br/>Maxima has overcome so much. Now she's just waiting for the family who will never let her go again.
