Maxx & Me Pet Rescue

12/30/2025

Our sweet Brewster (third star on the right) is now 1 year old and hoping she can locate her forever family with whom she can never grow up but instead grow old! Brewster is dog and cat friendly, crate and potty trained, is great out on the town at events or breweries and would also be just fine as an only dog! She photographs bigger than she is… she’s schmedium at around 40 pounds.

If you’re interested in meeting Brewster to see if her energy matches yours, please apply @ MaxxandMe.org and email @ [email protected]

Emilie A2500833 is a very affectionate, 8-year-old spayed dog weighing 21.4 lbs who came to the shelter in very poor condition.

She was emaciated with pressure sores on her joints and healing lacerations on her body, but despite her condition she remained bright, alert, and responsive.

Initially fearful, she quickly showed she is a gentle girl who allows handling and even greets with a loose body and wagging tail.

Radiographs revealed metal foreign objects in her stomach consistent with screws, along with significant intestinal contents, and an exploratory surgery was performed to safely remove the material.

Postoperatively, Emilie is doing remarkably well, she is eating, comfortable, and even jumping around her kennel.

She has been cleared to move to a quieter kennel to focus on weight gain, but she would greatly benefit from a home where she can recover, regain strength, and receive consistent nutrition outside of the shelter environment.

Emilie has shown incredible resilience and has a sweet, friendly demeanor, and she is looking for placement to help her heal and prepare for a loving forever home.

🚨 URGENT: FOSTER-TO-ADOPT OR ADOPTER NEEDED ASAP 🚨
Meet Ollie, a 5-month-old Catahoula mix (DOB 7/10/25) who is a living, breathing miracle.
Ollie came to us at just 7 weeks old under dire circumstances. He had a severe, infected dog bite wound on his front leg that had been left untreated by his previous owners. He was limping, in pain, and the infection was festering. The choice was simple: rescue or euthanasia. We chose life.
The vet warned us he might lose the leg. The infection was eating away at his joints and tissue, threatening his growth plates. The "easy" and cheaper route would have been amputation—but if you know Maxx & Me, you know WE DO NOT GIVE UP.
After over $3,000 in extensive vetting—flushing wounds, bacterial cultures, and constant X-rays—we are thrilled to share: OLLIE’S LEG IS SAVED! 🎉
🐾 Get to Know Ollie:
Ollie is incredibly resilient and surprisingly calm for a puppy. His human is his whole world!
* Ball Enthusiast: He lives to chase and play ball.
* The "Velcro" Puppy: He wants to be ON TOP OF YOU. Whether sleeping next to you or lounging on the couch, he needs to be close.
* Social Butterfly: He is great at daycare with all dog sizes! He has been around cats, though he may try to play/chase them.
* Playful & Proud: He loves prancing around with his chew toys and stuffed animals.
🏠 Ollie’s Ideal Home:
* A Furry Sibling: Needs a home with another dog who can tolerate and enjoy puppy energy (jumping and running).
* Active Lifestyle: An active family willing to continue his training and potty training (he’s a quick learner!).
* Commitment: Someone ready to give this miracle boy the life he fought so hard to keep.

🆘 🚨 FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED – PLEASE READ 🚨

Maxx & Me has been made aware of a young dog who urgently needs a safe, stable place to land. This is a sensitive situation, and our priority is doing right by this dog and keeping all involved protected and respected.

Meet Letty 💛
• Approximately 11 months old
• Spayed
• Vaccines up to date (records in hand)

Letty is an incredibly sweet, affectionate girl. She can be jumpy when she first gets excited, but once she settles, she just wants to cuddle and be close to her people. She is crate trained, enjoys playing, and has not shown destructive behavior in the home.

She has lived her entire life with a very small dog and does well with small dogs. Her play can be a bit enthusiastic at times, but she responds appropriately to corrections. She has also done well playing with larger dogs at the dog park.

Letty has lived in a home with an older child and did well. She can be a little nippy when overly excited, which appears to be excitement-based rather than aggressive. She has shown no signs of aggression.

Due to circumstances outside of her control, Letty can no longer stay where she is and needs either a foster or adopter immediately. She deserves consistency, structure, and a loving home where she can thrive.

A signed owner surrender, proof of spay, and vaccination records are available. Support will be provided through Maxx & Me, and we are committed to helping ensure a smooth transition.

📩 If you can foster or are interested in adopting Letty, please message us privately.
Sharing this post also helps more than you know.

Thank you for always stepping up for dogs who need us most. 🐾💕

This sweet girl was surrendered by her owner and is in urgent need of a Christmas miracle. Maxx & Me is overwhelmed with medical cases right now, and we could truly use help. Is there anyone willing to sponsor her care and open their home to foster her?

Honey A2483232 is a sweet 10-year-old, intact female dog who came to PRC as an owner surrender after her family could no longer care for her. She weighs 44.8 lbs and, despite everything she’s dealing with medically, she has remained gentle and comfortable in the shelter.

Honey is heartworm positive and presents with a large, pendulous, ulcerated mass on her left mammary chain, along with an enlarged submandibular lymph node.

She is thin with a body condition score of 2/9 and noticeable muscle wasting. She also has dental disease, a grade 3/6 systolic heart murmur, and a heavy flea burden. Bloodwork shows anemia and elevated white blood cells, consistent with her current condition.

Since intake, Honey has been eating and appears comfortable in her kennel, though the mammary mass continues to produce a significant amount of discharge. She is currently receiving Clavamox and Galliprant for comfort and infection control.

What she needs now is a rescue that can provide surgical removal of her mammary mass and ongoing medical care, including management of her heartworm disease and senior needs.

Despite her age and medical challenges, Honey remains a kind, tolerant dog who deserves relief, dignity, and compassionate care.

The shelter is seeking a rescue willing to help Honey and give her the chance at comfort and healing that she so desperately needs. If you can help, please let us know!

LITTLE JOHN needs his forever home and we desperately need a foster (his foster is having surgery 💔)

www.maxxandme.org
Résumé: John (Goodest Boy, Certified)�Position Sought: Full-Time Family Companion / Professional Cuddler / Morale Booster
Name: Little John�Experience: 1+ year with foster mom (long-term contract, glowing references)�Mobility: 3.5 legs (streamlined design; fewer paws, same speed, extra charm)�Availability: Immediate, pending meet-and-treat interview

Professional Summary
Hello, I’m John! Rescue dog, survivor, and all-around good guy. I’m known for my big, beautiful eyes, distinguished eyebrows, and ears that add a touch of whimsy to every room. Everyone I meet tells me I’m the goodest boy, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m seeking a forever role with a loving family where I can contribute loyalty, laughter, and world-class cuddles.

Key Skills
🛋️ Couch Cuddling: Expert level (movies preferred, snacks negotiable)
💕 Affection Distribution: Unlimited kisses and love, especially to my animal siblings
🐾 Adaptability: Thrives with dogs (primary kiss recipient and best pal), cats (coexisting professional), and horses (barn-approved!)
🏊 Recreation: Daycare enthusiast; pool play specialist
🤝 Relationship Building: Shy at first, best friend after 2 treats and some trusting pets

Work Environment Preferences
✔️ Yard preferred (for zoomies, sunbathing, and important sniff inspections)
✔️ Family without little kids or older folks; I don’t always know my size
✔️ Fur-siblings encouraged
✔️ Humans who enjoy cuddles, goofiness, and daily reminders of how loved they are

Background
I had a pretty tough start to life. Before Max & Me rescued me from a high-kill shelter in Georgia, I was so afraid in the kennels until anyone would come to my cage. I got so happy to see people that I wagged my tail so hard, I broke it! I know it’s probably hard to believe since I was found with traumatic amputation to my back left leg, skin issues, and severely underweight and malnourished. Since then I’ve been working real hard (with help from kind humans) to become the strong, happy boy you see today. My past shaped my empathy, resilience, and appreciation for the good things- like love, safety, treatos, and comfy couches.

References
Everyone who has ever met me. (They all say the same thing: goodest boy.)
