Maxwell: Back in the USA and Friends 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!

Ro Ro 💛

The top-left photo. That's Ro Ro the day she arrived... shut down, worried, trying to make herself invisible.

The other three, this is Ro Ro today. Happy, relaxed, leaning into pets and enjoying every bit of attention.

She has come SO far. She went from too shy to a super sweetie who soaks up every bit of love. She is so deserving of a home.

Yesterday, we watched other dogs leave the shelter with their new families and we celebrated every single one. But Ro Ro is still waiting.

She’s only a year old and has been here since August 29.

We wil keep reminding her that she’s loved and that she is a very good girl. Ro Ro is ready for a home!

I had my very own special photo shoot today, and this one was Mom’s favorite! What do you all think? My friend, Crissa, took this one; she takes the BEST pictures! Tomorrow, lots of other dogs will go for their shoots and the proceeds will benefit her rescue, Petals·4·Paws.🍂🍁🐾~Max

MISSING DOG-10/1/2026
“Blondie” is missing from the Maple Drive area of Monroe, just one day after being pulled from a shelter in Yonkers, NY. Her very new owner was walking her and she bolted off with a long leash and collar on to chase after a deer. The owner is currently unsure as to whether or not she is microchipped and this is the only photo he has of her. She is light tan with a white stripe on her nose and white on her chest and weighs approximately 45-50 pounds. If you have any information of the whereabouts of this animal, please call 203-260-9788 or 203-261-6401.

Oh. My. Gosh—-I just had THEEEE best time out on my 2nd walkie!! Not only did one one my neighbors who was jogging by take me for a mini jog, then took me over to her house and there were lots of people to pet me; but, then I saw some other neighbors who were out and they pet me too! It was glorious, but now I must rest! Oh, and there was a rainbow in the sky, too!!🌈~Max
