My personality

My story

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

We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs on to their new adopting families leaving April 4th 2025 from Southern California where we are located to the East Coast. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Maybelle to our trip for the right home 💕 As always, for peace of mind for our adopting families we never ask for ANYTHING up front. Adoption fee/travel costs are always due when we arrive in person with Maybelle in hand ❤️
Meet our sweet Maybelle! She is a Maltese/Shihtzu mix. She turned 1 year of age on 1/27/25. She is 13.5 lbs. She doesn't look it one bit as she holds her weight very well if you ask me. She is full grown, and at a very healthy weight. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped, and had a thourel exam with our vet who has cleared her to find a home all her own.

She is the absolute sweetest little Angel of a dog!! She loves to be held even if she is shy about it!! She reminds me of those soft plush dogs they used to sell in the flower shops with the big sad eyes. I'll have to attach a photo of what I'm talking about down below to show the resemblance!! But even with their big sad eyes they just always made me smile just like she does every time I gaze into her big beautiful eyes!! She is such a beautiful kind hearted soul and I'm so excited to share her with you!!

She is crate trained, and currently sleeps in the crate at night very peacefully. She does like to bunk with another dog when she can, but I'm sure she would be just fine sleeping alone in her crate if her next home doesn't have another sweet friend for her to lay with at night. She would equally love being in a dog bed of her own aside yours, or in bed if that's where you prefer to have her 💓

She is doing very well at house training and goes outside every couple hours to use the restroom. She is on a pretty great routine here, and I recommend her new home to have one too. She is used to us just taking her outside throughout the day so she never has to tell us when she needs to potty. She is very trusting that we will just make sure she has time to go out 😊

Leash training is new, but she will have no problem figuring it out with her person. She is shy when meeting anyone she doesn't know, so the outside world means a lot of new people so she has been a tad hesitant on leash, but I'm confident in her ability to conquer her fears!! The world has to know this precious girl and the only way for that to happen is for her to embrace the world outside of her home 💕

She is not a barker at all. She is very quiet and serene tempered. She is not high energy, but has a very soft playful side to her. She is always looking up at me when she sees me, and makes it a point to lock eyes so I can stop and give her cuddles in that very moment 🌸

She is wonderful on road trips of any length, and always loves a good spa day with her favorite groomer so it'll be important to find one you trust so she can share that same bond with her new groomer moving forward.

Her previous owner had a few senior dogs, and realized that they were content just being by themselves. While Maybelle never bothered them, she definitely required more attention than their seniors did so they decided it was best to find her a home where she would thrive and be happy all the time with a family or human that would spoil her the way she deserved.

Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/maybelle

It covers her spay, vaccines, her exam with our vet, and her microchip/registration. She was in heat at time of her spay so there was an in heat increase due to longer anesthesia time, and an antibiotic injection given to aid in the healing of her in heat spay. She also had a dental exam. Her teeth were in overall great health but she had a baby tooth that never fell out so it was removed at time of spay. Her adoption fee also goes back into the care involved in the time she has been with us here, her grooming costs, and her training we have personally done with her 🌸
