Maiya

Hi there! I'm Maiya! I'm a 48 lb Boxer/Bulldog mix with an estimated birthday of March 13, 2024. I've spent so much of my life taking care of everyone else that I almost forgot what it felt like to be cared for myself. Not too long ago, I was living life as a stray, wondering where my next meal would come from and if anyone would ever notice me. Then the amazing people at Sunnyside Street Dogs changed everything. They showed me that full bellies, soft beds, kind hands, and love are real. Turns out... I like this being spoiled thing! I also became the proud mama of three beautiful puppies. I loved them with all my heart, and now they've all found their forever families. I'm so happy for them... but I can't help hoping it's finally my turn. Everyone tells me I'm one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet; very gentle and easy-going, especially with little ones. One of the rescue mommas introduced her one-year-old kiddo to me and it was wonderful - we loved each other and shared similar curiosity and gentleness...... she even laughed when I tickled her ear with kisses! I love being around people, soaking up affection, and going for walks. Speaking of walks... I have wonderful leash manners, so whether we're exploring the neighborhood or taking a stroll through the park, I'll happily be right by your side - anytime day or night. I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just a family to love, a cozy place to rest my head, and someone who will remind me every day that my stray days are behind me forever. I've spent my whole life giving love. I'd love for someone to choose me. Could that someone be you?

Transportation

Maiya is located in Houston, TX. Transport is included in the adoption fee and may transport to nearby towns or states. We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third-party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.
