About Maile Nj

Maile is a roughly 4.5-year-old spayed female Cattle Dog mix, currently in Warren, ME. Her journey hasn't been easy—she started off in a pet store before spending over two years in shelter rotations, leading to some extra pounds. Fortunately, Maile is slimming down thanks to good food and diligent care. She’s crate trained, house trained, and thriving in a foster home, sticking to her healthy eating and joint supplements to help with possible arthritis in her back leg. Maile knows plenty of commands: sit, stay, paw, other paw, high five, down, spin, get it, and place. She’s loving her basic training classes, quick to learn, and eager to work, but she balances her cattle dog energy with cozy naps and a love for her toys. She’s gentle on her things and entirely non-destructive inside the house. Maile is sensitive to thunder but unfazed by fireworks. She’s particular about her people and does best with a women-only household and someone with breed experience. She needs a slow and steady hand, patience around handling, and continued effort on her training, including her comfort with a basket muzzle. Maile does not get along with other dogs, cats, or kids, and she prefers to meet guests outdoors with treats or be given her own space inside. She has sharp instincts and unique quirks stemming from her past. If you know cattle dogs, appreciate an independent, smart companion, and can offer structure, Maile is waiting for a home that truly fits her. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
