Yesterday we played fetch with a ball and a stuffy. She does have something going on with her eyes. May be allergies, mastiff droppy eyes or start of cherry eye. We will have vet take a look during her spay. I have increased her food to a total of 3 cups a day and I top the night meal with a Nature Recipe with chunks of chicken to help her gain some weight. <br/><br/>Here are comments too from one of her transport volunteers: “We had her for 3 hours Saturday for the transport and she is a love! She jumped in our car and was so friendly, slept some, and rested her head on our shoulders. Great in the car and a very sweet girl. Someone will be lucky to adopt her.”<br/><br/>2/14/26-Thank you to everyone who had a part in getting Maeve to her foster home & to her temporary foster home who had her the first 2 weeks. She ate a good dinner and has been relaxing.<br/><br/>2/6/26 Maeve was obtained from the local shelter and had been there for about two weeks. In cooperation with SCBR she was released to us since we all know that boxers don't do well in a shelter environment. She was a little bit shy and nervous when we picked her up but all of that seems to be reconciled after meeting my female boxer and another male boxer that I babysit for on a regular basis. Introductions went very slow, but they paid off and on day three everybody is getting along just wonderful. The shelter classified her as boxer/mastiff however in my humble opinion, she is 75% boxer and 25% mastiff. Her big beautiful black chops are a little bit longer and she has a mastiff double chin & droopy eyes but she is all boxer personality & the size of a boxer. Curious, loves affection, eager to play and thinks she is a lapdog. As far as body condition, She is still very skinny (now 45 lbs) and could afford to gain another 15 pounds easy. Her currency is definitely food and about the only way you can get her to stand still is to rub her butt which she thoroughly enjoys. She presents as a typical about 18 month old who has a lot of energy, interested in anything you're doing and just wants to be loved. To my delight, she has had no accidents in the house and automatically goes outside. Oh yeah, she IS a talker. A cross between Chewbacca and Scooby Doo. Lol<br/>Maeve deserves a home with a lot of love, a routine and someone to teach her how to play fetch. Her spay is scheduled for Thursday 2/26 & then she will be ready to go to her new home after that. <br/><br/>2/2/26-Maeve is a very sweet boxer/mastiff mix that came into rescue today. She was a stray to a great shelter we work with. We think she is closer to 18 months old as she acts very young still. Here is some info from the shelter when they had her:<br/><br/>“1/30/26-A young brindle girl with a gentle nature and a story worth reading. She came to us skinny and scared. She would shake at the back of her kennel with her head down, unsure of everything around her. With time, patience, and kindness from our volunteers and staff, she slowly began to creep forward, eventually coming out of her kennel on her own. Little by little, her personality is starting to show. She’s a little goofy, a little unsure at times, and very sweet. She currently weighs around 35 pounds, with plenty of healthy weight still to gain. She is already starting to fill out, and with time, consistency, and a good diet, she’ll get to where she needs to be. Slow and steady is the goal. She passed her dog assessment, though she was noted to be a bit bossy in the yard with other dogs. We don’t yet know how she feels about cats. What we do know is that she’s going to make someone a wonderful best friend. She walks gently on a leash, though we’re not sure she’s had much experience with one. She tends to weave in and out around your legs, and we’re working on building her confidence and helping her walk more comfortably at your side. Her eyes used to look sad — now they’re starting to fill with hope. Let’s get this girl into a home where she belongs.”
