Maisie Maltese Mix Palo Alto, CA

Adoption Fee: $600

Maisie is a 4 year old Maltese mix who was rescued from the shelter after being surrendered due to "no longer suiting her family". We couldn't let such a sweet gal spend her days in a crowded pen, so we rescued her and promised her the best second chance ever. Maisie has a non-shedding coat which will require regular grooming. She is an option for those with allergies, or who want less hair around the house

Below is a note from Maisie's foster!
"Maisie is a very sweet, loving, and excitable dog who is looking for her forever person. Are you looking for a personal cuddle companion who showers you in endless love? Maisie is the gal for you! Maisie also adores toys and is often found with a tiny lamb chop toy cuddled up next to her as she snoozes. Maisie also loves a warm blanket and happily sits near us for movie marathons, bundled up with just her nose peeking out. At only ten pounds, Maisie is the perfect miniature size for both playtime and cuddles.
Maisie starts her day at 7 AM with breakfast before she goes outside to potty. She comes inside and curls up for a nap until around 9 AM. After this, she spends her day snuggled next to her person, playing with her lamb chop, or exploring the yard. She adores her daily walks which she takes with our resident dogs. Maisie is fully potty trained and crate trained. She has dinner at 7 PM and then cuddles until it is time for bed.
Maisie gets along well with other dogs. She does well with cats, as most of them are larger than her. Maisie would do best in a home without children, as she prefers a quieter and calmer environment."

Maisie is only an option for those who have owned a dog previously. Interested homes should have experience with shy and undersocialized dogs who need continued support in confidence building. Teenagers would be the youngest age for Maisie, but an adult only home would be best suited to her lifestyle.
