About Maisie

Maisie is a 6-year-old female Yorkie/Maltese mix, weighing 18 lbs. She's had a challenging start in life, having spent her whole existence in a cage before being released by a breeder. As a result, she's naturally quite shy and takes her time to warm up to new people. Maisie needs a patient adopter who can guide her as she builds confidence and learns about the joys of the world around her. Despite her hesitance, she gets along well with other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for a multi-pet household. Maisie's adoption fee is waived, covering her spay, vaccinations, dental care, microchip, heartworm test, and deworming. She deserves a special home where she can thrive and experience love.
