THIS IS A COURTESY POST for our friends at Zen Dog CT.
MAXWELL has lived a life of international adventure. Most of it was as a pampered pooch, but these past few years have been ruff.
MAX (and his friend TIGGER) were originally adopted in CT by a man who lived in Stratford back when MAX was a baby. In 2020 they moved to Africa, but life there didn't turn out as they had hoped. The move was not good for MAX and TIGGER, and then tragically, when their dad was killed in a motorcycle accident in August 2023, the boys were left stranded in Kenya where they had little to no hope of getting out alive.
They spent several months at the KSPCA Mombosa while their rescue, Zen Dog CT worked frantically to raise the $11,000 needed to bring them home to CT. (We knew MAX & TIGGER before they moved to Africa and helped our friends at Zen Dog bring them back, so we are dedicated to helping them both find their forever homes.)
MAXWELL & TIGGER flew back to the US in March 2024 and have spent the past months decompressing from their ordeal and reconnecting with life in the US. While they live together in a foster home in Milford, CT, they are not looking to be adopted together.
MAXWELL may be 10 years old, but he is much younger at heart. HE LOVES TO PLAY AND BE SILLY! He is healthy aside from some arthritis, and is SO much fun to be with. He loves playing fetch and walking on the beach. Afterwards he enjoys nothing more than snuggling on the couch.
MAX would be fine with another friendly, playful dog, but he tends to chase the cat. He tends to have a bit of nervous energy, so no small children please.
The adoption donation for MAXWELL is $250.00. He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, has been dewormed and microchipped. He is also on flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention.
To adopt MAXWELL please submit an online application to Zen Dog CT at https://form.jotform.com/.../zen-dog-ct-dog-adoption.
