Maize - ADOPTED 08.28.10

Maize was another old dog turned into a mid-Michigan shelter and waiting on ‘death row’ to die by gassing. A kind person offered to sponsor some of his vetting, and even though we had no available foster home, the folks at LDDR couldn’t leave him there to die that way. When Maize came into care he needed a lot of medical attention. He had a horrible ear infection, arthritis, and his body covered in tumors. The vet ran many tests, did an ear flush, removed all the tumors, and started Maize on a medication regimen for the arthritis and ear infection. Maize was feeling so much better. Not having an available foster home, Maize spent his days residing at Happy Hounds Dog Day Care in Plymouth [www.happyhoundsdaycare.com]. While staying at Happy Hounds, Maize caught the eye of one of the dedicated staff persons who saw beyond his age and physical limitations, and adopted him. Maize would be another statistic had it not been for the kind person who wanted to do something to help an old dog. We only wish they could all be Happy Tails.
