About Maisie

Meet Maisie, a spirited 11-month-old basset hound who thrives on companionship and play. She was surrendered with her male basset hound friend, and these two have been inseparable for the past six months. Outgoing and friendly, Maisie enjoys zoomies and would love a doggie buddy in her new home. Although she is crate trained, she can get vocal when confined, so a peaceful environment is ideal. Maisie has a curious streak and tends to munch on non-food items like socks, so an adult home would be better suited for her to stay safe. She gets along well with other dogs and people, but her tendency to seek out "edibles" means her new family should be mindful of what’s within reach. If you're looking for a lively addition to your household, Maisie might just be the companion you need. Click apply to start the adoption process.
