About Maya

Maya is smart, eager, and always ready for some action. She’s up for fetch, tug-of-war, and quality time with dog buddies, but she also knows how to settle in and soak up affection.

Being surrounded by other playful, social dogs brings out her best, and a dog-savvy friend in the home would help her confidence and routine. Maya has overcome a lot for such a young dog. She can sometimes get overstimulated or anxious on leash, so she needs an experienced adopter willing to keep building her skills and confidence. At home, Maya is house-trained, gentle with belongings, and craves a mix of activity, affection, and companionship.
