Gentle, affectionate 35-lb young dog ready to discover life as someone's beloved companion. Maura is just over a year old and was found with her siblings on a farm in rural Virginia. Having grown up outside, everyday household life is still new to her-stairs, vacuum cleaners, and the normal rhythms of a home. She isn't afraid of the world-she simply hasn't experienced it yet. Maura is an incredibly sweet, soft-natured, affectionate girl who loves people. She's just beginning to discover that petting and attention are wonderful things, and her confidence grows more each day in foster care. She does beautifully with other dogs, has been around cats, and has been gentle with children. A calm canine companion could help guide her as she continues learning about the world. Before rescue, Maura had puppies in a hay barn. Sadly none survived, but despite that difficult start she remains trusting, loving, and incredibly kind. She doesn't need a perfect home-just a patient one willing to show her how loved dogs live. In return, you'll gain a loyal and deeply devoted companion. 35 lbs about 1 year old good with dogs, cats, and kids Maura is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care.
