About Maya

Maya has a smile that wins everyone over. She's a four-year-old American Eskimo with a bright white coat and a big, trusting heart. After being rescued from a tough start, Maya has really settled into home life—her tail wags often, especially when she's around people she knows or other friendly dogs. She can still be a little timid with new experiences but thrives with patience and reassurance. Maya's favorite activities include playing in water, exploring outdoors, and stretching out for cozy snuggle sessions. She balances bursts of playfulness with quiet, relaxed moments. Right now, Maya is working on her leash skills and house training; because of this, she needs a physically fenced yard (no invisible fencing) to help her feel secure while she gains confidence. She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a truly adaptable companion. If you want a loyal dog who will offer plenty of affection and joy, Maya is waiting for the right person to give her a loving home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
