Lola, a 14-year-old mini poodle, has been Jennifer’s constant companion and source of comfort for over a decade. Adopted from a rescue, Lola quickly became more than just a pet—she became family. As Lola grew older, Jennifer noticed that her health was starting to decline, and a recent diagnosis of kidney disease hit them both hard. Lola now needs subcutaneous fluids twice a week, and regular bloodwork to monitor her condition. Despite her age and illness, Lola’s spirit remains as strong as ever, though Jennifer finds herself struggling to afford the necessary treatments.

Feeling desperate and unable to provide the care Lola so desperately needs, Jennifer reached out to Max's Helping Paws. Max's Helping Paws exists to support pet owners in difficult times, ensuring pets like Lola get the treatment they deserve. With the support of our grantors at The Grey Muzzle Organization, Lola was able to receive the care she needed. Thanks to their generosity, Lola’s condition is now stable, and Jennifer can rest easy knowing she can continue providing her sweet girl with the care and love she deserves.

Max’s Helping Paws provides a lifeline to pet families during times of a health crisis. For Monica, Smoky is more than family and more than just a pet. A couple years ago, Monica tragically lost her son after a long battle to cancer. Smoky was her son’s greatest joy. Smoky now brings her comfort, hope and strength.

When Smoky started acting weak and extremely ill, she rushed him to the ER. Monica sat in the exam room feeling hopeless. Deeply worried and scrambling to figure out how she was going to afford to get Smoky the care he needed so urgently.

With nowhere to turn, she was given a brochure for Max’s Helping Paws and quickly approved for the maximum funding. The team at BluePearl Monterey was able to treat Smoky overnight and get his blood sugar back to normal. He is set to recheck with his regular veterinarian this week and we are all hopeful for healthy recovery.

Your support saves pet lives and keeps families together. Every donation makes a difference for pets like Smoky and people like Monica, who have nowhere else to turn.

Rocket, a 9-month-old Egyptian Mau, has been the heart of Randall and Lindsay's family since they adopted him earlier this year. Rescued from a storm drain when he was just a few weeks old, Rocket was bottle-fed back to health and quickly became their "child," sharing every moment and bringing joy to their home. 🐈 ❤

But recently, his once-energetic spirit has been overshadowed by severe constipation. He now struggles in pain, crying out with each attempt to go to the bathroom and refusing to eat or drink. Randall, unable to return to work due to a back injury, and Lindsay have reached out to Max’s Helping Paws for support. Thanks to Max’s Helping Paws and the Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF), Rocket is receiving the medical care he needs to heal. Randall and Lindsay are incredibly grateful for the kindness and support that will help bring Rocket back to his playful, loving self. 🙏🏻

Georgie, a 15-year-old chihuahua, has been a loyal and comforting companion to Vanja for the past 5.5 years. Recently, Georgie began experiencing cluster seizures, which left Vanja worried about his health and well-being. After seeing his veterinarian, it was recommended that Georgie undergo further evaluation and treatment to manage his seizures. However, Vanja’s limited resources made it difficult to afford the necessary care for Georgie. She felt helpless and stressed, knowing how much Georgie means to her.

Fortunately, Vanja was referred to Max’s Helping Paws Foundation, where she received the support needed to provide Georgie with the treatment he deserved. With medication and close monitoring, Georgie will be able to continue living a comfortable life by Vanja’s side.

Max’s Helping Paws is committed to offering financial assistance to pet owners in need, ensuring that senior pets like Georgie receive the care they require. Thanks to our generous grantors at The Grey Muzzle Organization, Max’s Helping Paws can continue to support families like Vanja’s and help senior dogs like Georgie stay happy, healthy, and at home. ❤ 🐾
