My story

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

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi, my name is Mazie! My foster mom says that is short for “Amazing,” because I was able to keep my eight puppies alive in freezing temperatures for about six weeks after they were born outside. I gave them everything I had. Yup, I’m AMAZING!

ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a young lady.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Best estimate is that I’m around two years old.

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
Oh I am the most adorable little mix… something scruffy mixed with pit bull. And what a combination of cuteness I turned out to be!

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh 45 pounds!

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have the cutest little scruffy face with gentle, adoring eyes. My body is lean with a wiry brindle and white coat, and I have a happy little half-cropped tail.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I enjoy my kibble for breakfast and dinner, and I am always happy to have a yummy topper of freshpet food or plain greek yogurt. Oh that makes me feel so special!

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am loving and a bit submissive. You can see my gentle nature just by looking into my eyes. I am the sweetest girl with a huge heart.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY?
After a yummy breakfast, I love to go out to play in the yard…maybe I will get to chase some squirrels! After all that fun, I enjoy a nap before I get to go for a walk and run around the property some more before dinner. After dinner, it’s lazy lounge-around time with the humans until bedtime. What a fun-filled day!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My favorite toys have super fun crinkly stuff inside. Oh that sound makes me so happy while I play with them!

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I am such a polite little girl as I sit and wait for my food. And I am really good at playing fetch! It’s so much fun! I am working on some basic obedience and am a work in progress, but I am proud to say that I am very good listener, so I am pretty teachable!

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Loud noises make me uncomfortable. And I am a little unsure about meeting new people. So be patient with me, as it takes a little bit for me to warm up to people. But once I feel safe, I will love you forever.

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have enjoyed hanging around with some kids and teenagers since I’ve been in my foster home!

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
The cat in my foster home isn’t quite feeling the love for me yet. We are still getting acquainted. It may just be a matter of time, but I am hoping I can convince her to let me be her friend.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?

In addition to my puppies, I have met other adult dogs and I did great! Ima very friendly, well-behaved girl!

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I would love to be with a family who loves me and will never let me go. Oh, and my other favorite place to be is outside where I can explore and chase those pesky squirrels!

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am hearty, healthy, and full of energy.

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster parents. Three of my puppies are still with me and they are my closest companions. There is also a cat named Winnie and a Tortoise named Spike.

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am safe and comfortable in my crate when the humans leave us home alone.

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate in my foster parents’ room.

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I do very well on a leash! I walk like the polite little lady that I am, with no pulling.

DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I don't know what possesses me, but occasionally I'll shred a bed. What can I say, I’m still a puppy at heart!

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes! My foster parents take me out frequently so I don't have indoor accidents. And now I am learning how to use the doggie door to go outside!

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I haven’t been around water since it has been so cold out. It looks like fun!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that my foster family gives me lots of attention to make me feel secure. They spend a lot of time with me and are patient while I’m learning the rules. They love me and my pups.

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I'm not sure what happened, but I found myself and my babies living in an industrial complex in a bush. We made the best of it and called it home, but life is so much better since NorCal Bully Breed Rescue brought us to a safe foster home. And I know that now I will find the perfect family that will love me forever. Maybe you will help me learn what it feels like to be loved?
