My story

Maia is a beautiful brindle, medium size, mixed (but unknown) breed dog. Her birth date is estimated as 12/29/24 and she was adopted in March of 2025. We have another older dog we wanted to have a buddy and our oldest child wanted a puppy to help train and raise. We fell in love with this girl and decided to go for it. She is house trained and listens very well to the adults of the house and our oldest but she is very high energy and has had some unintentional run ins with our smaller children. We’ve worked a lot on obedience but it’s hard when she feels taunted by little humans walking around with snacks at her eye level all the time. She would do much better and be much happier in a house with older or no children. She loves walks and running around the backyard. A fenced in yard is ideal for her. We are heartbroken to make this decision but confident there is a better fit for her out there and want to find her another home to love her as much as we have.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Maia, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
