Maya

Meet Maya!

Hi all, I'm Maya, and I am a very people friendly girl on the look out for a new home to call my own.

As I said, I like to say hello to absolutely every human and give them lots of Maya cuddles and love so just warning you that there will be lots of licks involved. Because I enjoy the company of people so much, I am not going to suit a home where I am left for long periods. I like to stay close, so will generally be sat by your side or even at your feet waiting for belly rubs! I love being brushed and have been fab every time I have seen the vet. At bed time I wont be far away.....and if I'm allowed I would love to sleep with you, I'll keep my paws crossed!

I am a very clever girl, and have responded really well to the positive reward training methods that are used here. I am now understanding that good behaviour means a tasty treat.....and I love my food!!! You might just have to be careful that I don't eat anything of yours, or something I shouldn't! I am quick to learn and really want to please, so training can be great fun for you and I! I love to play...balls and squeaky toys are my fovourites.

I can be quite vocal, even chatty at times if I get frustrated or if you don't understand what I want. My barking can be a sign of me being protective of my home, or my owner if there are other dogs about.....I think I must have some German Shepherd in me! So a home where there isn't a lot of passers by would we great. I am currently being muzzle trained as when walking I am fine meeting some dogs, especially calm bigger ones, but reactive towards others, especially if they are making lots of noise. So I will need a new owner who can manage me on the lead in these times as that's when I get a bit pully. The rest of the time I generally walk beautifully.

I think I would love to live with older children as long as they are big enough to cope with my size and excitement, as I will jump up for cuddles quite a lot. I am still getting used to transport and travelling but have enjoyed a ride on a bus a couple of times and in the vans here at the centre.

My biggest wish is that there is a new owner out there just for me......I can't wait to be the best most loyal friend that you could wish for xx
