Maya is a 5-year-old mixed breed sweetheart weighing about 46 pounds, though she still needs to gain a little weight. She has a generous donation of $100 towards her adoption fee. If you're looking for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Maya might just be your perfect match! This low-energy girl is happiest curled up next to her people, soaking up all the pets and attention she can get. Maya is convinced she's a lap dog and honestly, we don't have the heart to tell her otherwise! She loves snuggling, enjoys going for walks, and is always happy to play with her toys. Maya is house trained and walks nicely on a leash. While she isn't a fan of crates and has become quite the escape artist, she does wonderfully when left in a dog-proof room where she can relax comfortably. She is incredibly friendly and loves everyone she meets, including strangers. Maya absolutely adores children and would thrive in a family home where she can be showered with love and attention. Maya currently does well with her puppies and a smaller foster brother. Maya has done well living with other dogs, but benefits from slow, respectful introductions. She appreciates dogs that give her space while she settles in and may take a little time to warm up to more energetic companions. In her previous foster home, she became playful and enjoyed roughhousing with a larger female dog once she was comfortable. Since being reunited with her puppies, she has been a bit more protective, so thoughtful introductions are important. With patience and proper management, Maya has shown that she can thrive in a home with other dogs. Maya has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for a family who will give her the safe, loving home she deserves. Could that be you?
Ideal Home
A home with a yard and a 6-foot fence is important for Maya, as she is athletic enough to jump over shorter fences.
Ongoing Health
Maya is heartworm positive. This is not contagious to other dogs, and treatment is very manageable. Maya will need a few months of treatment along with some activity restrictions during that time, and the rescue will cover the cost of her treatment.
Training & Support
Maya is house trained and walks nicely on a leash. She is not a fan of crates and has become quite the escape artist, so she does best in a dog-proof room when left alone. She benefits from slow, respectful introductions to other dogs and may take time to warm up to more energetic companions.
