Maisey

Maisey is a darling Maltipoo who is about 2 years old and weighs 13 lbs. We got her out of the Riverside shelter where she was taken after being confiscated from a meth house. She's had a rough start in life and sustained a terrible burn on her shoulder that healed but left her with a small hairless patch. <br/><br/>When we got Maisey she was so loving and affectionate and playful. It's amazing to see how resilient dogs can be! <br/><br/>After about a week we noticed some unusual behavior in which she would suddenly chase her tail. It would only last a couple of seconds, but we decided to take her to a neurologist. The vet feels it might have been some drug that Maisey was given that caused this strange behavior. When she gets overly stimulated with people in excitement, she'll whip around and chase her tail for about 5 seconds and sometimes she growls when she does. But there's no aggression towards a person, and she's never tried to bite anyone. Maisey was put on medication that has reduced the frequency; and it's now well controlled. THE RESCUE WILL CONTINUE TO PAY FOR MAISEY'S MEDICATION. <br/><br/>Otherwise, she's your typical young pup. She's energetic and very playful. Maisy is very friendly with everyone she meets. She gets along with other dogs but may be a bit too rambunctious for older dogs or shy ones. She loves toys and can be self-entertaining. Maisey has no separation anxiety and often chooses to sleep in another room after spending some time in bed with her foster. Maisey is great on a leash and trots along at a brisk clip. And she's excellent at the groomer. She gets very drooly when in a car, so she's not the dog you want to take on long trips. <br/><br/>Maisey would do best in an adult home. She'd be a good match for someone who has another dog who needs a companion.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Maisey, the first step is to submit an adoption application.
