Meet Mae, a 5-year-old French Mastiff dog, who faced many challenges in her life, but she has a friendly attitude towards everyone. She meets everyone with an open heart and greets them by wagging her tail. When she arrived at Southern Indiana Animal Rescue, she was very thin, weighing just 70 pounds. It was clear she had gone through a tough time.
Not long after she came to the rescue, the sad news came- Mae had a terminal cancer that couldn’t be cured. The doctors said she might only have a few weeks left to live. Elizabeth Starck, who takes care of rescued animals, felt a strong connection with Mae since the first day. She decided to take Mae home and give her all the love and care she could. Mae’s adorable face, with a cute underbite, and her sweet nature made a lot of people love her.
Mae loves meeting new people, but she loves food even more, She eats a lot-about 10 cans of dog food every day. When the rescuers mentioned that they needed more food for Mae, the response was amazing. They received over 700 cans of dog food and other helpful things from people who cared about Mae.
Even though Mae has been a bit slower, she still enjoys getting attention. And of course, she still loves her food. She also has a soft spot for the fluffy cats at home. She watches them playing and cuddling each other and wags her tail with happiness.
Mae and Elizabeth share a very close bond. Mae stays by Elizabeth’s side and follows her every step of the house. Because they were such a perfect match, Elizabeth officially adopted Mae in front of a judge. She wanted to make sure Mae spent her last days surrounded by love and care.
Mae has good days and some not-so-good because of her illness, but she keeps eating and being close to her mom. She knows she’s loved and cared for. Elizabeth is grateful that she could do something for Mae.
Mae’s story has touched the hearts of many and reminds us that our little help can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
