My story

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

Foster or Adopt — Maria's Ready for Her Forever Home!

Meet Maria, a gentle, sweet mixed-breed girl with the softest soul — and the cutest ear look that makes her even more irresistible. Maria has wonderful manners, doesn’t jump on people, and appears to be dog-friendly with pups her size.

She’s a smart girl who knows sit and shake, and down walks nicely on a leash, and rides beautifully in the car. Maria is also a fantastic walking and hiking buddy. She truly loves everyone she meets, enjoys getting pets, and has the kind of calm, loving presence that makes her so easy to fall in love with.

Maria is non-reactive to other dogs, takes treats gently, and is just an all-around sweetheart with a very soft, gentle nature. She’s one of those dogs whose kindness you can feel the moment you meet her.

Right now, Maria is waiting patiently in a boarding facility for someone to finally choose her. She is absolutely worth meeting — spend just a little time with her and she’ll melt your heart.
Have another dog? A dog introduction is required to ensure a great match.

Home Check

Additional adoption info

After meeting the pet, we do a home check, then we do foster to adopt for a week to ensure a good fit the adopters get 2 free training sessions in home after adoption, but trainer comes 1day also. Most of my dogs are on a breed restricted list so house is most likely a requirement, if they are renters I'll need to speak to landlords. Fees for 1yr- senior is 100-200$.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Before meeting any of the pets you will need to fill out the application first, if approved, then the rescue will schedule a time to come and meet the dog or cat., and give you the location at that time.
