Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meri desperately needs a foster or forever home!
Meri is a sweet, affectionate goober of a Boxer mix that was saved from being euthanized at Dekalb Animal Control. She has been in a temp foster home and we're trying to keep her from going back to the pound.
She is 2 years old, and she loves to play. She also loves people and wants to please. Meri’s happy to follow you around and hang out wherever you are. She’s been through a lot, and we've been working with her to build her confidence and reassurance after being abandoned. She's thriving in her foster home and gaining more and more confidence.
She loves dogs and she loves cars. You don't have to ask her twice to take a car ride. She plays hard and respects when another dog tells her to back off but sometimes, she'll come back again in case they changed their mind and want to play. If she lives with another dog, it would be best if that dog is playful like her.
She is shy and timid with new people, and she will bark at them initially. If you ignore her, she stops barking pretty quickly and then she wants to be your best friend. She would benefit from a compassionate foster or adopter that would help her know she is safe. She makes friends for life, so once she meets you, you’re in. She thrives in a home with a routine. She would make a great running, walking, hiking partner and has no problem keeping up.
She is so sweet. She is housetrained and crate trained and goes in her crate easily. She likes to have some toys in her crate when she has to be in there. She has no food or toy guarding issues and she is non-destructive. She is very affectionate and eager to please and she loves snuggles. She is very treat/food motivated and takes food gently from your hand. She is very easy to train. Please consider giving this sweet girl a chance. Thank you!
Age: 2 years Weight: 48 lbs Temperament: Gets along with all adults and older respectful kids, dogs around her size. Training: House trained and Crate-trained. Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention. For questions about Maizie, please email, aimiablepetcare@aol.com. ​To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself.
