Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.UPDATE: Mave has settled in well to her foster home, but would love a job to do! She is an active girl with a high drive. She would excel in putting her hunting instincts to work! She carries around a stuffed toy all the time, but is gentle with her mouth with food and treats. She plays well with other dogs, best with those her own size as she can be a little rough in wanting to play. She is excellent at fetch and recall, plus crate and house trained!  Sweet, energetic Maeve is still jumping for joy after being rescued from animal control! She truly bounds with energy and loves nothing more than throwing her toy in the air and then begging you to play tug or fetch with her! This sweet girl is new to us so we are learning all about her fun personality and charm, basic obedience training and house manners are a work in progress, she’s catching on quickly! She’s great with other dogs and keeps a clean crate; doesn’t know a stranger and quickly jumps to greet them!   For more detailed info and to complete an application see our main website @ genesisanimalrescue.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 7, 2024, 1:14 pm
