*** My adoption fee has been reduced by 50% to help me find my forever home ***

~ This lively girl loves to run, play, and explore, making her the perfect companion for a family with older kids (16+) who can match her enthusiasm and keep up with her boundless energy.
~ Maizy's ideal home is one without other dogs, as she tends to be reactive around them. She would do best as the only dog in the household, ensuring she gets all the attention and love she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal and devoted furry friend who will be your one and only dog, Maizy is the dog for you. Her playful and loving nature will bring joy and laughter to your home.
~ While Maizy has a lot of wonderful qualities, she does need some help with her manners. She is working on basic obedience and needs a patient and dedicated owner to continue her training. Maizy also experiences separation anxiety, so she'll need someone who can provide her with the time and training to feel secure and comfortable when left alone. To help her transition smoothly, Maizy will require enrollment in two in-person training sessions or a Goodpup scholarship to give her the best start in her new home.
~ Because of her high energy levels and need for space to roam, Maizy is not suited for apartment living. A spacious environment will help her burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. If you have a big backyard and love spending time outdoors, Maizy will be your perfect match.

If you think your family can provide Maizy with the active and loving home she needs, submit an application for her and see if she's the right fit for you. With some training and a lot of love, Maizy will make a fantastic addition to a home that can keep up with her spirited personality. Adopt Maizy and let her fill your days with excitement, companionship, and endless affection!
