7 · Friday, August 24, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com Maxi Beagle gets new forever home A six-year-old beagle named Maxi has finally been taken to a forever home after spending a year and a half with the Oakville & Milton Humane Society (OMHS). Maxi was surrendered to the shelter back in March 2011 after her owners were no longer able to afford to care for her. "This is becoming more and more of a reality," said Brenda Dushko, spokesperson for the OMHS, in a news release. "Increasingly families have to give up a much loved family pet and we are glad we can be here to help them through the process and find the pet a new home." Maxi is a true hound and was more interested in the sights and smells around her than meeting a potential adopter during her stay at the shelter. And so, she waited in the shelter. She also became a favourite of her walkers. Her day to leave the shelter came when she met the perfect match in Shannon Syring and Rachel McReavy who embraced her beagle attitude. OMHS is a low-euthanasia shelter where every pet is part of the shelter family until it becomes part of a forever family, however long it takes. The OHMS is a registered charity, which is able to do its work through the generosity of the community.
