My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mavis is available for local adoption or adoption and transport to another state. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home.
Mavis was rescued from a fast-kill, small-town, dog pound. She was underweight and had skin problems from the nasty dirty greasy collar that was around her neck. She is a different dog now. A little pudgy at 70 pounds, but with a beautiful and fluffy coat. She is a golden retriever mix and is estimated to be around 5 years old. Mavis is crate trained, house trained, well-behaved in the house, walks well on a leash, and rides well in a vehicle. Mavis loves children and all people. She will sit at your feet and wait for pets. Mavis gets along with most dogs and loves to play. (We have one female dog that doesn't like Mavis so she likes to agitate that dog whenever she can LOL). Mavis is active and LOVES playing with balls and other toys. She likes to bark at squirrels. Mavis loves walks and playing with other dogs. We do crate her at night but she does not need to be crated. Mavis is sweet, gentle, and loving. She is a wonderful dog. We do think she was beaten because she is scared of sticks and other things that might be used to hit her. And we do not understand why someone would hit such a good dog. Mavis must be in the house as a loved member of the family. Mavis did run out the gate once and took off exploring. We had to chase her down with a vehicle and caught up to her by the post office. So she cannot be trusted off-leash, and definitely needs a fenced yard to run and play.
Mavis is healthy. She is spayed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Mavis has been treated for heartworms and they are now dead. She is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. We would really love Mavis to have a fabulous forever home and we will consider both local and out-of-state applications. Her out-of-state adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport, and she can be transported almost anywhere within the continental United States. Mavis is being fostered in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog.
