Maxwell, a small shepherd mix adult

Maxwell is a gorgeous and very sweet Belgian mix pup who was surrendered to the shelter because he had a bad UTI and the owners did not bother to have him checked at a vet, assumed he was a bad dog for peeing inside (when he needed antibiotics), and dumped him in the shelter to die. Max is currently being treated for his UTI and being brought back to a normal weight, as he was severely underweight as well.  To say he is thrilled at being rescued is an UNDERSTATEMENT. He is thriving with loving care, good food, supplements, and urinary care.   Max is showing he is a lover and has developed a strong attachment with the foster's son, so he does well with dog-savvy children. Belgians make excellent watch dogs, and bond hard with their families. The love going for walks and having quality time with their people. Max likes to cuddle and sleep close, he is pretty chill and seems happy to be warm, well fed and loved. His foster has three personal dogs and three rescue fosters and he is gentle with all of them. Max has not been tested with cats.
