Mavis is a 2-year-old, spayed female Shepherd mix who weighs 55 pounds. She is a gentle, easygoing sweetheart with a calm demeanor, perfect for bringing quiet joy into your home. Mavis is happy to join you for walks and then relax by your side. She absolutely loves other dogs and thrives in a social environment, getting along beautifully with dogs of all sizes. On leash, Mavis is a dream, walking close by your side and easily redirected. She politely avoids sewer grates and drainage holes and may startle if approached suddenly from behind, so a calm and predictable environment is best.
Mavis is house-trained, does well in a crate, and has great manners when left alone. She coexists peacefully with other dogs and shows no food aggression. She has been wonderful with children, including an 8-year-old, and is gentle, quiet, and affectionate once she feels safe. While she may be a bit shy at first, she warms up quickly. Mavis is smart, knows how to sit, and is eager to learn more. She loves catching treats and will happily show off her skills.
