โ€œMy little rescue Maurice can be a handfulโ€ฆ I was worried he'd never stop trying to bite my friends. But then I met Alexis! She helped me turn my little guy aroundโ€ฆ Maurice is now much calmer around new peopleโ€ฆ I can't wait to continue seeing what my little guy can do with Alexis's help and compassion.โ€
