About Miss Maxine

Miss Maxine is a young Heeler mix with some Terrier in her, about a year and four months old. She came from a large group of dogs who were used to one caregiver, so the outside world can still feel unfamiliar. Miss Maxine takes her time warming up to new people, so a couple of get-to-know-you visits will help her feel at ease. She does well with other dogs and may blossom even more with a canine companion at home. Once she connects, she becomes a loyal sidekick and won’t hesitate to show her affection—expect lots of kisses from this girl. Miss Maxine does not get along with cats or young children, but she enjoys the company of other dogs. All dogs in care are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and treated for basic health needs. She’s in Bolivar, MO, but can be met in person or via virtual visits for those in Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA, and St. Louis, with transport options available if needed. Miss Maxine is a Capricorn—she’s steady but loyal once she trusts you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
