About Maya

Meet the lovely Miss Maya! Maya is a beautiful, approximately 6-month-old Belgian Malinois who was rescued from Apple Valley Animal Shelter in California, where she faced a grim fate. This gentle girl has a slightly shy personality, yet so much love to give. She's dainty, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. While she can be reserved at first, Maya adores people and is at her happiest when receiving affection and cuddles. As a young pup, she still has much to learn and will thrive in a patient and dedicated home. Continued training, socialization, and positive experiences will help her build confidence. Maya needs a structured environment that engages both her mind and body. Those who understand the breed will find joy in helping her blossom into her full potential. Maya is already spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever family! Underneath that shy exterior is a wonderful, loving dog just waiting to come out of her shell.
