Maya Blue Eyes

Maya is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles!

She is intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy, and enjoys walks in the neighborhood, but it's the walks in the woods she loves.

She wants to be your friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men, therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. She has had very limited exposure but she seems fine with children.

She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as shown in the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play!

Maya was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter, we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need someone experienced with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her.
