Maya, also known as Velcro Girl, is a medium-sized Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who stands out in a crowd with her deep orange coat, soulful amber eyes, and the soft mask that seems to capture her good-natured spirit. She’s just about a year old—a young mother who has raised pups of her own and now looks for a home where she can finally relax and soak up affection. On first meeting, Maya tends to be gentle and observant, quietly taking things in. Give it a little time, and her loyal side shines: she wants nothing more than to be near her people, earning her that affectionate “Velcro” nickname for good reason. Her welcome-home routine involves a stuffed toy in mouth and a tail that can’t hide her excitement. She’s house trained, excellent on leash, and knows her basics like sit. Maya gets along well with other dogs and children. Her energy tilts playful—she loves a zoomie session—but she’s equally happy curled up in your lap, close, content, and completely tuned in to your moods. Sensitive, intuitive, and steady, Maya feels like the missing teammate you’ve always wanted. If you want a dog that brings both warmth and steadfast companionship to your life, Maya is ready for you. Your new best friend is just one click away.
