Welcome Maxxie! Written by a CP Intakes Volunteer

Saturday, a beautiful girl named Maxxie joined the Col. Potter Family. Maxxie is almost 5 years old, red wheaten with a sweet disposition and sensitive nature. Maxxie is an owner surrender. She was the baby of the family, well cared for and very loved. One day her parents started a human family of their own. As the human baby got older, Maxxie became sadder and started to withdraw. She no longer wanted to play when the toddler was around. Maxxie would hide out of sight to avoid interacting with the toddler. Everyone's heart was breaking to see Maxxie so unhappy and not herself. After much soul searching the decision was made to do what was best for Maxxie. It was not a decision made lightly but her family wanted Maxxie to live the rest of her life being the happy, playful girl she used to be.

Maxxie loves to be brushed, adores balls, fetching and retrieving. She is obedience trained and knows sit, lie down, off, outside, in the house and come - but only when she wants to. After all, she IS a cairn!! Maxxie is enjoying the foster home of Glenna S. who so graciously agreed to take on a second foster. Glenna's foster boy Michio is thrilled to see Maxxie and already has a crush on her. Please welcome Maxxie to the Col. Potter Family!
