Mavis's Story

Dog Name: Mavis<br/>Age: 2.5 years<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Breed: Pit mix<br/>Weight: 44lbs<br/>Crate trained: Yes<br/>Potty trained: Yes<br/>Dog friendly: Yes<br/>Cat friendly: Unknown<br/>Kid friendly: Yes<br/>Vaccinated: Yes<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/>Heartworm: Negative<br/>Microchipped: Yes<br/>Energy level: Medium<br/><br/>Location: Fostered in Chicago, Illinois. No out of state applicants, please.<br/><br/>Meet Mavis! Mavis is a spunky, cuddle-loving queen. Mavis knows what she wants. And, that...is to be on top of you. Mavis yearns to be as close to you as possible. She would nap with her head on your face if you let her. This adorable house cow is affectionate and loving towards all people and just begs to be adored.<br/><br/>Miss Mavis MUST greet you with something in her mouth, whether that be a toy, a shoe, or a full-sized blanket. But, don't you worry, she won't actually chew it! She will sit there grumbling through said object as she receives the pets she desperately needs.<br/><br/>Mavis walks well on her leash and harness and will express her excitement when the two come out. She is crate trained, potty trained, and is an excellent nap partner. Mavis is kid friendly, but may be a better match for older kids due to her clumsy nature. She seems to be dog friendly and gets excited when seeing them on walks. <br/><br/>Mavis can be a bit bossy at times, using her voice to tell you what she wants. This has seen great improvement with some training and positive reinforcement.<br/><br/>Mavis would thrive in a home where she could be cuddled and complimented. She does well with 1-2 walks a day and settles in a crate nicely. This adorable spitfire would be the perfect addition to a variety of<br/>homes.<br/><br/>If you're interested in meeting Mavis, please fill out an application at the<br/>link below.<br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog
