About Maya

This could be the start of something paw-some. Maya, affectionately known as Mia, was found in very poor condition—emaciated and suffering from multiple tumors. After undergoing a full mastectomy and receiving plenty of loving care, she is now ready for the next chapter in a forever home. Maya is incredibly loving, gets along well with other dogs, and would thrive with a family that enjoys taking their dog on adventures. She truly enjoys car rides and her foster family has helped her learn basic commands, making her a joy to train and be around. Her gentle and affectionate spirit shows just how resilient and loyal she is, eager to become part of a loving home. Fun fact: with a birthday in late November, she's a Sagittarius, known for being adventurous and optimistic! Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
