My story

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

Meet Maya – A Spirited Sweetheart Looking for Her Forever Home!

Name: Maya
Breed: Australian Kelpie–Terrier Mix
DOB: December 7, 2024
Weight: 30 pounds
Spayed, Vaccinated, and Healthy

About Maya:
Maya is a beautiful, medium-sized girl with a bright mind and a playful heart. She’s active, friendly, and full of curiosity. Whether it’s chasing a ball, going for a walk, or exploring the backyard, Maya is always up for an adventure. She loves people and enjoys being part of the action—but when playtime is over, she’s happy to curl up near her favorite humans.

Breed Info – Australian Kelpie x Terrier:
Australian Kelpies are highly intelligent, loyal working dogs with strong herding instincts. Terriers are energetic, clever, and full of personality. As a mix, Maya is the perfect blend of smart and spirited. She’ll thrive in a home that can provide both physical activity and mental stimulation. Expect a dog who learns quickly, bonds deeply, and loves to stay busy.

Owner Responsibilities:

  • Provide daily exercise (walks, playtime, or training games)

  • Offer basic obedience training and positive reinforcement

  • Feed a healthy diet and maintain regular veterinary care

  • Include Maya in family life—she’s not a dog to leave alone or chained outside

  • Keep her mentally and physically active to prevent boredom

  • Provide love, patience, structure, and a sense of safety

Things to Consider Before Adopting Maya:

  • Time & Energy: Maya needs more than a quick potty break. She’ll do best with a person or family who is active and engaged.

  • Finances: Dogs require ongoing expenses (food, vet visits, flea/tick prevention, grooming, toys, etc.).

  • Housing Rules: Make sure your landlord allows pets—especially medium-to-large breeds.

  • Allergies: Check for pet allergies in the household.

  • Lifelong Commitment: Maya could live 12–15+ years. She’s not a temporary guest—she’s family.

  • No Outdoor Chains or Isolation: Maya needs interaction, exercise, and affection. Leaving her tied outside is not safe or fair to her well-being.

Why Maya Will Be a Great Addition:
Maya is intelligent, affectionate, and ready to love her people with her whole heart. She’s great for active individuals, couples, or families who want a smart, loyal companion to join them on walks, hikes, or playtime in the yard. With the right environment and care, Maya will blossom into your most loyal friend—one who makes you smile every single day.

Maya is ready to run, play, and love her way into your life—are you ready to meet your new best friend?
