About Maui

Meet Maui! He's a charming 2-year-old, 10 lb. Silky Wirehair Dachshund who’s embarking on a journey of discovery. Rescued from Central California, Maui spent his early life outdoors, so the comforts of being an indoor dog are entirely new for him. Things like soft beds, household sounds, and even the presence of people are experiences he's just beginning to understand. Transitioning to indoor life can be a bit daunting for Maui, but he’s finding out that a home can be a safe haven filled with love. Each day brings small victories as he builds his confidence, learning that cozy beds and gentle belly rubs are part of the good life. One area where Maui shines is his affection for other dogs. He feels much more at ease when calm canine companions are around to provide reassurance. Maui is not seeking a bustling household. Instead, he would thrive in a calm, patient environment where he can adjust at his own pace. A friendly, confident dog buddy would be a fantastic addition to his new family. Maui is currently fostering in Orange County, eager to find his forever home. If you think you can offer him the loving atmosphere he needs, please consider completing an online application.
