About Maisie

Meet Maisie! This delightful 1-year-old cattle dog mix is about 35 pounds of loyalty and enthusiasm. Eager to learn and please, she delights in walks and runs, followed by snuggling up with her favorite people. Her sweet nature makes her quick to warm up to new faces, and she's always excited to meet someone new. Maisie is house trained and doesn't counter surf or dart out the door, though she needs a bit of patience to get used to a crate since she gets anxious. With plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, she can be kept busy, as she tends to chew on shoes when bored. She knows how to sit and lay down, eager to master more tricks. As a medium-to-high energy dog, Maisie thrives in active homes. She's a fantastic companion for sidewalk runs, and after a couple of miles, she’s ready to relax. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, and while she’s gentle with people and kids, she may jump when excited—something we’re working on. Her ideal home is one where she can enjoy outdoor adventures with a patient family ready to help her develop perfect leash manners and crate training skills. Once she’s had her exercise, she settles down nicely, often curling up at the foot of the bed to snooze. If you're looking for an active and loving companion, Maisie is ready to start this journey with you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
