Meet Miss Maeve — a lovely 5-ish year-old Malinois who is settling into her foster home.
Originally found as a stray and taken to a local shelter, she was adopted quickly once her hold was up. Unfortunately, due to her strong prey drive (especially toward cats), her new home just wasn’t the right fit.
Maeve is still very malnourished and emaciated from her time as a stray. Since leaving the shelter she has been steadily putting on weight. With continued good nutrition, a loving environment, and a little time, she'll be back to the lively energetic dog she's meant to be.
✨ What we’re learning about Maeve:
• Incredibly sweet temperament
• LOVES attention and affection
• A total cuddle bug
• Will absolutely thrive with someone who understands the Malinois drive
• Best suited to a cat-free home with structure and love
Give this girl a little time, and she’s going to make an amazing companion. We can already tell she's going to be someone's heart dog. ❤️

Additional adoption info
The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including any medical interventions/services received while in our care. All dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care.
Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance.
TGSR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if you and the dog are a good fit. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract.
TGSR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to TGSR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it.
