Maisy

 

Hello, my name is Maisy

I’m a one year old female American Bulldog mix. I arrived at The Mayhew because my owners felt they couldn't cope with me.

I'm a sweet natured and timid girl. I am very friendly and affectionate with people I know but I'm nervous of strangers, however it doesn't take long for me to make friends with people who are introduced to me properly. I get along well with other dogs and I enjoy meeting up with them for a play in the park but I can get over excited with smaller dogs and I have a tendency to chase them. For this reason I need controlled exercise around other dogs and I will need to wear a muzzle and longline in the park. I have a very good recall and I'm currently learning a chase recall to a whistle. I'm an intelligent girl and eager to please so I'm picking this up quickly. I am calm in the house and fully toilet-trained. I also know the basic commands which I respond well to and I travel well in the car. I have been known to be destructive in the past but I can now be left alone for a few hours without any problems. I am a very affectionate girl and I love to give kisses, I also love to cuddle up next to people and I always enjoy a good tummy rub.

I am now looking for a forever home with an confident and experienced owner who has researched my breed type. I would happily live with sensible children from sixteen years of age and upwards and I would also happily share my new home with another medium to large sized dog. I will need a home where there is somebody around for most of the day. My new owners will be expected to continue my training, take me to training classes and provide me with a minimum of one hour of controlled off lead exercise every day. If you’re interested in adopting me you will need to be fully prepared for the hard work and long-term commitment involved in caring for a dog, you'll be taking on a fourteen year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.

I hope to see you soon

Maisy is currently living in foster care until her new forever home is found. If you are interested in adopting her you will need to visit The Mayhew first before going to see her in her foster home.
