Adoption Pending! Maximilian  aka Max has a broken back or possibly genetic deformity. The vets at the U feel they can fix it but it may take more then one surgery. While some folks have voice their opinion that Max "would be better off be euthanized", we are going with the medical experts opinions on moving forward with helping this little guy as the Neurologist feel this is something that can be corrected and managed. Right now Max is getting weekly physical therapy, acupuncture (cost $250 per week) and has been fitted with a back brace. The hope is that as he grows the spine bones will become more stable. We will not be taking any applications for little Max but looking for support and donations to help cover his  treatments as that will be our first priority. The vets want him to grow a little before any possible if any, surgery can be done. Our foster says it is not easy keeping little Max quite. This boy wants to run and play as any puppy would, and play he does! Please consider helping little Max by making a monetary donation or sending puppy toys and treats. He would love those too! Thanks to his wonderful foster family for being willing to take him on for the long haul.
