MAISIE was saved from San Antonio Animal Care Services on 13th March 2015. She had previously been on hold for another rescue, but when the shelter informed them she was fearful, they backed out of the hold - lucky for MAISIE, GaDaH had a back up hold and so she was safe.

MAISIE was indeed fearful when we picked her up and brought her back to to the rescue, but this is very common for dogs in kill shelters that to them are full of smells of fear, death and disease. Generally after a day or so, sometimes even within hours, they realize they are now safe and their true personalities shine through.

This is exactly what happened with MAISIE - for the first day she stayed quiet, she was taking in the environment and working out what was what, the next day, however, she was dashing around, wagging her tail, she would dart from under the bed to come and greet me, then dart back under the bed only to come out the other side with that little tail wagging none stop.

MAISIE is great with the other dogs, the puppies, the other terriers and the German Shepherds. She walks amongst them and plays and runs around. She is always at the front of the pack when I have the treats and although I do not do any training here (as I don't have time) she sits and takes the treat politely.

MAISIE would be great with a family that is looking for a small-medium sized dog. A family that has time to spend training and educating her, setting the boundaries and guidelines so that she knows what is to be expected. MAISIE will be great with any dog-friendly dogs no matter what the size. We do not  have cats in the rescue so we cannot comment on how she will behave around them.

MAISIE is a happy girl that deserves a family that has time to give her all the love she deserves, who will take her places and let her adventure the world around her.

MAISIE is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, tested heart-worm negative and is micro-chipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 13 September 2014. At the time of rescue she weighed around 20 pounds

MAISIE is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $300.
