Meet Maisey
Maisey's favorite pastimes include taking leisurely sniff walks, engaging in spirited games of fetch or keep away, indulging in butt scratches, and tackling food puzzles that tickle her curious mind. In essence, she's a true explorer at heart, craving mental stimulation and physical activity.
For Maisey, the ideal family is one that exudes calmness and consistency, providing clear boundaries while also nurturing her need for adventure. With a moderate energy level rating at 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, she strikes the perfect balance between zest and zen.
A fenced yard is a must for Maisey, who revels in the freedom of outdoor exploration, and she's a prime candidate for invisible fencing for added security. However, a home with children under 10 isn't the best fit for Maisey, who thrives in an environment without little ones.
While Maisey enjoys the company of a neutral canine sibling, she may exhibit resource guarding tendencies that require a patient and understanding approach. With a knack for herding and a tendency to express herself with her mouth, Maisey is a spirited soul in need of guidance and structure.
Potential families should be aware of Maisey's initial hesitance around strangers, a behavior her foster family is diligently working on. However, with the assistance of a confident canine companion or gradual introductions, Maisey warms up and blossoms into a trusting and affectionate companion. It takes Maisey quite a bit of time to fully trust her people, providing her with time to decompress in her crate or in her own room is immensely helpful. Once she trusts, she is an enthusiastic companion.
In summary, Maisey is a one-of-a-kind pup seeking a loving family to embark on adventures, navigate life's challenges, and bask in the joys of companionship. With patience, understanding, and a whole lot of love, Maisey is sure to become the cherished heart of her forever home.
