My personality

My story

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

Maya is an adorable and sweet girl who is around one year old. She is always ready for love and attention. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and weighs around 47 pounds. Who can resist her short legs, and big, square head, especially when it’s matched with an even bigger personality. She is a playful and friendly pup who loves going on walks, especially if they include cuddle breaks. She is still learning manners and commands, but she is a smart girl and is willing to learn. She has shared an outside kennel with two different shelter dogs, and loves spending the day playing with a companion. She has been on a hike with some volunteers, and their two smaller dogs, and she did wonderfully. She handled the car ride, new dogs, and a lake full of geese amazingly well. She loved being outside and going on an adventure. She also had a playdate in a home, where she used the bathroom outside before and after coming in the house, but not while inside. She also played with the two dogs she has gone on a hike with in their home and did really well. Her young, puppy brain doesn’t understand how much bigger she is than the smaller dogs, so she needs more training, or to be in a home with dogs closer to her size. Maya is ready for her own family to play and cuddle with.

If everything looks good, we will let you know that your application is approved. We may contact you for more information about any part of your application if we feel something is unclear or we have a concern. Should your application be denied, you will be given an explanation.

More about this shelter

WHO WE ARE...We are a county shelter with one full time Animal Control Officer and a group of very dedicated volunteers called the Wabash County Animal Shelter Buddies (WCASB). Wabash County Animal Shelter is licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture. WCASB is 501c3. The WCASB helps coordinate adoption of dogs and cats from the Wabash County Animal Shelter. Our mission is to increase the number of pet adoptions/rescues from the Wabash County Animal Shelter, to provide a clean, safe, and friendly environment to animals during their stay at our shelter, to educate the public about pet overpopulation and the importance of spay/neuter practices, and to promote awareness of the benefits of adopting a shelter pet.
