Max

Max arrived January 22, 2025, with a severely injured front leg and tenderness around that shoulder. We don’t know how he was injured or how long ago, but it has been at least 2 weeks that he has lived like this. We are so thankful to the front line rescuer who worked tirelessly and took him to the airport in the small northern community 5 times in order to get him into our care, to the community member who flew into Saskatoon with him, to the volunteers who worked to bring him in, and to the foster home who not only said yes but also waited to hear that he finally made it onto the plane. We won’t know what his leg’s outcome will be until he sees the vet tomorrow. 

Update: Max is a VERY sweet and loving boy who is very glad to no longer be living wild and free in the outdoors. He is also preparing himself to have his leg amputated. His initial vet visit shows that he has bullet fragments scattered throughout his chest and throat area, his leg had been fractured in 2 different places and that, while it is weight bearing, it healed rotated which is why we see that swing when he walks. He’s a survivor many times over and we are sure that he’s going to thrive after his surgery.

Update: On February 6th Max had his leg removed. He’s already running and snuggling and generally enjoying life especially time with his foster. Another week of healing and we expect that Max will be ready to meet his family.

Update: We are so happy to share that Max has come through his healing and is ready to find a home to love on unconditionally!

Final update: Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes for Max, he had a speedy recovery and moved to his forever home!
