Why Dog Adoption Fees Are So High: Where Money Goes
Dog adoption fees cover vital vet care, food, and shelter, making them an investment in saving lives, not a profit for rescues.
Maxine is a sweet and playful 7-month-old Papillon/Italian Greyhound mix with an adorable, goofy personality. She can be a bit bashful initially but quickly warms up, blossoming into a spunky companion. Maxine loves other dogs, is great with respectful kids aged 7+, and could potentially live with dog-savvy cats. She is still working on housetraining and basic manners, requiring a patient family dedicated to consistent training. She thrives with companionship and would do best with a family who can slowly acclimate her to alone time.
