Maizey

My story

Meet Maizey: A Loyal Dog Looking for Her Forever Co-Pilot! (Female-German Shepard/Pit Mix 1.5 Years) If you’re looking for a dog who loves "hard," look no further. Maizey is an 18-month-old bundle of pure, unadulterated joy. She doesn’t just like her humans—she adores them. Maizey is a "hugger" in the literal sense; if you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised if she comes right up to lean in and ask for a full-body embrace and a few kisses. Maizey is what we call a "strong lover," which is a polite way of saying she hasn't quite realized how big she’s grown! She’s a goofy, clumsy sweetheart who just wants to be where you are. Whether it’s a quick trip to the gas station or a hike at the park, Maizey is ready to hop in the car and be your dedicated sidekick. Maizey’s Favorites: * Anything Wet or Frozen: Maizey is obsessed with water—if it’s wet or frozen, she’s all in! She loves playing in the hose sprayer, frolicking in the snow, and even enjoys ice cubes as her favorite "low-calorie snack" to keep her occupied. * Playtime & Bonding: She has a lot of "puppy plus" energy and thrives when she’s bonding with her people through play. She can get a little frustrated if that energy isn't released, so she loves a home that makes her part of the action. * Canine Companions: She would thrive best with another dog in the home—ideally one with a similar energy level who can keep up with her love for a good game of tag. The Ideal Home: Maizey would love a fenced-in backyard where she can run to her heart's content. However, a yard is not a requirement as long as you are an active person! If you’re committed to exercising her through long walks, hikes, or other adventures, she will be perfectly happy bonding with you on the move. Because she is a bit of a "bull in a china shop" when she gets excited, she needs a home without small children simply to ensure she doesn’t accidentally knock anyone over during a "zoomie" session. The Bottom Line: Maizey isn't a "background" dog; she wants to be your best friend, your shadow, and your partner in adventure. If you have room in your heart (and on your lap) for a big sweetheart, Maizey is waiting for you! Location: currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.
