My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Important Facts About Maya
Dogs: We would encourage you to bring your dog for a dog-meet! Our staff are happy to assist.
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown
House-trained: Yes!

Looking for a chill companion with excellent manners and a heart full of love? Maya might just be your girl. According to her foster parent, Maya’s ideal day includes snoozing all day on the couch, with a few breaks for soaking up the sun on the balcony and greeting her favorite humans with a happy, wagging tail.

She’s not one to bounce off the walls - but don’t be fooled, she still enjoys the occasional toy and a little playtime when the mood strikes. Maya is a smart cookie who already knows “sit” and “paw,” and she brings a calm, respectful energy to the home.

Whether you’re working from home, relaxing with a book, or enjoying a sunny afternoon, Maya is the perfect laid-back companion to keep you company. If you`re searching for a gentle soul with a peaceful vibe and a whole lot of love to give, come meet Maya - you just might fall in love with her snoozy charm.

Maya`s foster parent`s latest update: `Maya has been wonderful and perfect as always. Maya has the best house manners, she will let you know when she wants to go out and never has an accident!`

If you are interested in adopting Maya, please send an email to kcbaldino@gmail.com to arrange an initial virtual meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
