Maya #4

Updated on Saturday, 03/10/2007

Adopted!

Maya is a sweet, sable-colored female German Shepherd. She was confiscated by Animal Control when her owners were charged with animal cruelty. Maya, her mate and all of her eight puppies were all cramped in a wooden box in the backyard. They had no food or water Maya was in the worst condition, extremely emaciated. At a mere 48 lbs., she was near death from starvation and suffered a severe respiratory infection. At first Maya was very leery and scared when she came into her foster home. Never having lived indoors, having constant food and water was very foreign. She didn’t know how to play with toys. When she was given two stuffed toys, she walked around with them for days. It was like she perceived them as her puppies and was making sure they were safe. Maya, we are happy to say, is doing great today. She has gained considerable weight, no longer has a respiratory infection, and loves to play with her foster brothers and sister. She no longer sleeps in a crate. She prefers to sleep next to her foster brother Ranger. But she does well in her crate when her foster parents are not home. She knows sit, stay, is house-trained, and is a beautiful GSD. Being pampered at her foster home, Maya has a few requests of a new forever home. She would like to be treated with lots of love and affection. She would like a nice comfy warm bed, lots of stuffed toys, and does have a preference of Merrick Canned Food mixed with her dry food. She does love to lie on the couch next to her foster dad but also loves to run and play in the back yard. Her foster brother, Ranger, is her best friend. They are non-stop wrestling and playing. An energetic brother or sister would be great. Please let us know if you have the home Maya is seeking and feel free to email her foster mom at dianedz@gmail.com if you have any questions.
