About Maui

Meet Maui! This 6-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix is looking for a new home after his previous owner had to move. Maui, a large guy with a sleek black coat, has been part of a loving family since he was a puppy, so he's well-versed in the good life. Though he’s no longer a puppy, don’t let that fool you; Maui remains spirited and enjoys playtime. He's been around dogs of all sizes and is good with children, proving to be a gentle companion in mixed settings. While he hasn’t lived with cats, he typically ignores them, so there’s potential for a peaceful coexistence. Most of Maui's time was spent in an outdoor kennel, and while he is mostly house-trained, he'll need a bit of help adjusting to indoor life. His prior family taught him basic commands like sit and lay down, but he may still pull a bit on the leash as he gets accustomed to his new routine. Maui recently received his vaccinations and is eager to find a family that will cherish him as part of their pack. Come meet Maui today; he's a sweetheart who’s ready to be your loyal companion!
