About Maizy Courtesy Listing

Maizy is a 3 1/2-year-old Border Collie mix who brings a lot of energy to the table and thrives with an active family. She weighs about 50 lbs and needs adopters who can keep her both physically and mentally engaged. Maizy is currently house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. She gets along well with other dogs but does not do well with cats or small dogs, so a pet-free or dog-only household is best. Because she's still working on her manners, Maizy will be most successful in a home with children over 12. If you’re looking for a companion who will keep you on your toes and loves to be included in daily activities, Maizy could be a great fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
