Hi! My name is Maiden, a fun name for a fun dog. I am about 2 years old and I weigh 55 lbs. No one is sure of my breed combination. Just look at my giant ears - where did those come from? Either way, I'm super cute. I am a playful pup who knows how to have a good time and put a smile on everyone's face. I have a happy, upbeat personality - tail wagging and a contagious smile. I get along well with both male and female dogs. I love to play with them and with dog toys. Romping and playing at doggie daycare is one of my most favorite things. I am a smart pup who knows all my basic commands, including sit, stay, come and down. I am also housetrained, and walk well on my leash. I love taking walks. Wanna know what else I love? WATER! I love to splash around in the pool or the lake. After a nice play session, I love nothing more than to cuddle up in your lap. A nice ear scratch or belly rub is the way to my heart. I will do best in a home where people are around a lot. I do not like to be alone, so if you're retired, you work from home or you can take me to work with you, please give me a chance to be your newest family member. You'll be so glad you did! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

Adoption and Foster Care Application
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
