Meet Maui: Your Co-Pilot for Every Adventure! If you're looking for a companion who perfectly balances "zen at home" with "zeal for the road," look no further than Maui. This resilient former street dog from Mexico hasn't just survived; she has thrived, bringing a vibrant zest for life to everything she does. The Ultimate Travel Buddy Maui is a true adventure enthusiast. At home, she is the queen of the nap-calm, collected, and a gold-medal cuddler. But the second she hears those car keys jingle? She's a dog transformed. Maui is always the first one in the car, ready to feel the wind in her ears and see where the day takes you. Whether it's a quick trip to the store or a weekend mountain getaway, Maui is ready to be your loyal co-pilot. Intelligence & Connection Maui isn't just a pretty face; she is incredibly smart and eager to please. She already has a great foundation in training and can show off her skills with commands like "Sit," "Come," and "Lay Down." Because of her background, she has a deep capacity for love and is looking for a family that will prioritize building a strong, affectionate bond with her. Outdoor Style: Simple & Sweet While Maui has an adventurous spirit, she's a girl of simple tastes. Her ideal "comfort zone" includes: Quiet Paths: She prefers a peaceful daily walk away from crowded or chaotic trails. The "Belly Rub Break": A walk or a run isn't complete without stopping for ample pets. In fact, Maui's favorite thing in the world is a mid-adventure belly rub! Endless Love: More than anything, Maui just wants to be near her people. The Perfect Match Maui is looking for an owner who appreciates her resilience and wants to share their life with a dog who truly values connection. If you have room in your heart (and your car) for a sweet girl who will reward you with smarts, loyalty, and the best belly-rub requests in the world, Maui is waiting for you. Her rescue story: Maui was found near a gas station near Sayulita, Mexico. When she was rescued, it was discovered that she had an injury to one of her paws and she also had an old injury to one of her eyes from having been hit by a car. She's fully recovered, is up to date on her shots and is ready for adoption. Having lost sight in her one eye doesn't stop this girl from wanting to play and love people, and living her best life. A single dog household might be more ideal for this girl. Maui has a heart of gold, and she enjoys car rides, walks on a leash, greeting her people in the morning, playing in the water, fetching a ball or toy, and this girl also responds really well to training with treats. She feels safe in enclosed spaces, so a secure fenced yard would be ideal for this girl. She's crate trained and doesn't mind being bathed at all. She's a healthy love-bug who's ready to bring her person or family joy and delight, and when not being active, you can find this girl enjoying a nice chew session with some bones or a chew toy.
