About Maura

Maura is a young pit bull mix who arrived at the shelter as a stray. While she initially appears a bit shy, she quickly opens up, revealing her playful and affectionate nature. At just under a year old, she has plenty of puppy-like energy and will benefit from basic training to help her develop good habits. This sweet girl is likely to get along well with other dogs and children, making her a great family addition. Although she’s still warming up to new experiences, she can learn to coexist with cats too. Potential adopters must be at least 21 years old, and any resident dogs should be current on vaccinations and spayed/neutered.
