Story
Meet the one-of-a-kind Maya!
She is a 13yo (almost 14yo in January) Chihuahua. Maya is a mild-mannered, senior dog weighing 12lbs. She was a puppy rescue at about 12wks old.
Maya is moving a lot slower these days but does have an occasional zoomie! Maya is spayed, microchipped, and her vaccines are up-to-date. She has a small heart murmur, and is losing peripheral vision.
Maya is low-key doggie who loves to lounge in a cozy bed with a warm blanket. She also likes a warm sweater. As she ages, Maya can be a little stubborn. She coexists with cat in the home.
Maya likes to be told she is “a good girl” from her human, enjoys gentle pets, and accepts gentle hugs. An ideal home for Maya would be one with a fenced yard or patio, perhaps with someone who works from home or is retired to allow her multiple opportunities to go outside.
Maya is crate and house trained, although she needs more frequent breaks because of incontinence. Maya does enjoy slow walks on a leash and special treats. She might cautiously bark at a dog when on a walk but mostly minds her business.
Maya has been a good little doggie all of her life. Her owner recently fell, had extensive knee surgery, and has a long road to recovery. Maya requires more support than they can give her at this time, and they are desperate to find her a loving home willing to take her in to live out the rest of her life through adoption.
This genuine, little doggie is deserving of the perfect furever home. Could it be with you? Apply to adopt Maya today!
