This Puppy actually picked her own name! The first day I had her, a group of 6 of us were saying names, and when Maisy was said, she perked up and got excited. I asked if she wanted her name to be Maisy and she ran over and started giving me kisses. Maisy is the sweetest girl ever and everyone who meets her falls in love. Even her grumpy foster sister was no match for this little love bug who won her over with repeated attempts to play. She is doing great in learning to be a part of a family and enjoying all the new things she gets to experience. Maisy loves every toy she's ever seen and will carry them to all rooms of the house and even outside to play with them. She thinks the backyard is so fun to run around and exercise with the neighbor's German Shepherds through the fence. She loves going on car rides and is already good at walking on a leash. We are working on commands, and she is understanding many already like: sit, no, outside, eat or hungry, treat and come on. I feel like she is very smart and would do great with a training class. She is working on potty training and does well with consistency, but she is still a puppy, and accidents do happen, so please be aware she's trying her best! Maisy doesn't like being alone, so she would do best in a home with another dog to show her the ropes and be her buddy. She will kennel and stay quiet as long as she can see her buddy! At night, she does well sleeping in a bed next to her foster sister, but she also loves to cuddle in bed with her foster mom even though, for a tiny pup, she can be quite a bed hog.
Maisy has been so much fun to have as a foster. She is a very playful puppy who would love to have a fenced-in yard or go for daily walks to get her extra energy out. I think she would also enjoy hiking, as she seems to be very outdoorsy. Maisy can't wait to find a loving family with whom to go on new adventures.
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
