Story
I got Maevis at 6 weeks old from Craigslist through a backyard breeder. I will admit, I was very unprepared to handle a high needs dog, and for this, I have a lot of regret. She has been my baby for nearly 3 years now, but due to complications with my living situation, I have to rehome her, unfortunately. She has lived with me, my now ex, his German Shepherd male, and a female cat ever since I got her. Now and then, she’ll get moody with the other dog, but it has never been detrimental. I believe she would do good in a household as a sole pet. She has separation anxiety and occasionally has accidents indoors. She doesn’t like new people at first, but will grow accustomed to you in time. I will only let an experienced dog owner who has dealt with high-needs dogs adopt her. She has a lot of energy, loves to go on walks, play with squeaky and chew toys, and loves peanut butter. She has so much love to give, and I only want the best for her moving forward in her life journey.
