Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you meet the requirements, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Applications, as well as FAQ regarding adoption, can be found on our website.
Since we are 100% foster-based rescue, only approved applications will be reviewed and/or contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive there for a meet & greet.
Maizie came from a past life of breeding. Thankfully, she is a love bug and is not timid like most are. At Maizie's vet intake appointment, the vet heard a heart. Because of this, we got her seen with the cardiology team at U of I. She was diagnosed with Myxomatous Mitral Valve Degeneration (MMVD) aka Leaky valve, which is common for the cavalier breed. With this condition, Maizie should be evaluated regularly for progression in heart disease by a cardiologist yearly for an echocardiogram and blood pressure and will eventually be put on medication. Your local vet is not the same as a cardiologist and they can not perform these tests so ensure you have or can drive to your nearest cardiologist before applying.
Maizie is not very good on a leash yet. She might be receptive to it at a later date, once her family has developed a relationship with her. Knowing that she won't leash walk right now, we must insist on a physically secure fence for her, as she will need to immediately continue her outside potty routine. The only way to be successful with this is to have a secure contained area.
Maizie is doing very good with her potty-training routine. Her foster mom has been very proud of her progress & says she is almost there! It is important to note that anytime there is a change in environment or schedule, you must give the dog a chance to be successful. A new routine that employs consistency & praise will help set them up for success.
Maizie is a loyal friend. She quickly took up with her foster mom & is comfortable being around her during normal household activities. She is doing well with quiet well-behaved children, adults, men, women, & all her foster canine siblings. She is very much enjoying making friends.
Please let us know if you have the perfect home to offer Maizie by sending us an email. Gateway4paws@gmail.com
