Maxwell and Tigger: Back in the USA

Maxwell and Tigger: Back in the USA Both have been adopted and truly HOME! Max will now host the page! Hi, we're Maxwell and Tigger! We once lived happily in Stratford, CT with our dad, Brad.

Maxwell and Tigger, originally from Stratford, CT, are back home in Connecticut from Kenya, Africa where they were left stranded after their owner died unexpectedly in the summer of 2023. He found love and moved, with us soon following, to Kenya, Africa in 2021. Our dad came back to the States in 2023 for surgery, and unexpectedly passed away in a motorcycle crash leaving us stranded in Africa. We were originally adopted from two different groups: Zen Dog CT and In the Nic of Time, which is no longer in operation. Zen Dog CT was Tigger's rescue and took responsibility to get us both back home to Connecticut. We stayed with the wonderful people at the Kenya SPCA in Mombasa for a few months while SO many people back in the US helped to fundraise and share our story so that we could come home. It took a village, and the village came through! We thank each and every one of you who donated, shared and followed our story--each one of you helped us get home! In early March of 2024, we were finally cleared to fly home. The Small Five Animal Clinic picked us up from the KSPCA and drove us to the airport in Nairobi for our 15 hour plane ride on Kenyan Airways into JFK in New York. Soon after arrival, we moved into our foster home in Milford, CT. We've been decompressing and getting used to our daily routine. It's much cooler here than Africa, and we like that! Foster mom takes us for daily walks and we have our very own special bedroom with a surplus of sleeping areas to choose from; after all, we're seniors and we like to rest! We've also got a fenced yard and patio with kuranda beds to lounge on--what could be better?! What COULD be better is a forever home! We can be adopted together or separately as we are not bonded. Although we've been through so much together, we are not the very best of friends--we're two older gentleman who tolerate one another. Please message the page if you'd like more info on our perfect retirement home! In the meantime, we'll be posting pictures and videos of our day-to-day and hope you'll follow along!

They are still collecting if you’ve got blankets to spare!🐾

In honor of Ozzy’s gotcha day, we will be collecting old and new blankets (without stuffing) all season long! If you’re anything like me, you like to refresh your blankets each season … if you’re one of those people and don’t know where to put your old blankets, I’m your girl! New blankets are welcome too!

All blankets will be dispersed amongst shelters to keep the pups warm and cozy while waiting for their forever homes! 🏠 🐾

Mom says I can have 5 more minutes!🐽😴🐾~Max

🙏🙏PLEASE PLEASE SHARE 🙏🙏

We have done quite a few posts on Naples . He was abandoned with burn marks on his back , he is blind likely from abuse and when he first arrived he was extremely frightened and unsure .

Naples has been with us almost 6 months . He has played with other dogs , seen our cats and he has done well . We realize Naples is a special case . We know he is a gray pitbull ( which are typically the last adopted and first euthanized - along with black dogs ) , we know he looks different with the burn marks along his back - but that’s not his fault . We know taking on a blind or limited visual ability dog is also a big ask but we truly believe Naples is worth it .

Naples is beginning to fail at the shelter … he is stressed and showing signs of depression . We need your help to network and share him as far as possible . Naples has had so many happy day out videos - he went to the beach , has gotten pup cups , he’s gone trail hiking , went swimming and we’ve posted them all but he never receives hardly any shares . And the one time he had a potential adopter , she backed out two days before she was due to pick him up .

Please please share his story . Please help Naples find a forever family . Naples is likely 5-6 years old . We’ve neutered , vaccinated , heartworm and microchipped him .

He needs your help to get out of the shelter 🙏🐶♥️
