Description
Sweet Maya came to MAGSR after she was confiscated from a cruelty and neglect case. Maya and her brother were severely neglected and malnourished, only being fed a small portion of a chicken thigh a week. Unfortunately, her brother succumbed to malnourishment before we could save him.
Since we’ve had Maya in our care, we are still learning about her, but do know beyond her shyness, she is very sweet. Obviously given what she experienced, she will need time to decompress, learn to trust people and realize she is safe. Maya is thought to be between 1-2 years and will need training.
An ideal family or companion for Maya will need to be understanding, patient and willing to give her the space and time, given what she went through, but also won’t be afraid to set and reinforce boundaries. She will need to learn how to be a dog, how to play and build her confidence. Sweet Maya will need basic training, consistency, and routine to help her continue on this journey.
We believe that in the right environment, Maya will continue to come out of her shell once she is given an opportunity to fully decompress and understand that she is finally safe, not just short term, but for the rest of her life.
If sweet Maya sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!
