Maeve

Maeve is still available and she is doing SO much better! This sweet girl didn't have a great start to life. She came to us incredibly matted - so matted that it was painful, she couldn't see, and every touch was terrifying because she couldn't see it coming and didn't know what was happening. She's only about 18 months old. With how matted and overgrown she was, she had probably never been groomed. Considering she is a Maltese/Yorkie mix, you can imagine how that must have looked and felt for her. Maeve is, understandably, wary of the world. She's only about 12lbs and the world is enormous, and there is a lot that she doesn't understand. It's not her fault. She's just a baby and there are so many things she's never been exposed to and so many experiences she's never had. She's been doing so much better about meeting new people and being brave, and we're really starting to see her blossom into a happy, affectionate little lady! Once Maeve trusts you, she's a velcro pup. She just wants to be inside of your skin with you. She'll snuggle up in your lap, you can pick her up, touch her all over, etc. You just need to put in the work to get to that point with her.

Ideal Home

Maeve will need a family that has the time and patience to invest into her. She does well with other dogs (bouncy, high-energy dogs do spook her, so calmer, low-key dogs would be best) and she does well with cats. We are looking for an adult-only home, but older teenagers should be fine.

Ongoing Health

No ongoing health concerns are noted.

Training & Support

Maeve can and will snap or nip out of fear, so going slow with her is a must.
