I’m Maya. Being the 7th Maya to come to Sophie’s Dog Adoption, I’m going by Maya 7!
I’m a sweet, loving, good-natured Shih Tzu, almost 9 years old, but have many good years in front of me.
My human has passed away, so I’m looking for a new home.
As much as I’m fine with everyone, I would prefer a quiet home with no live-in kids. An active person or couple would be nice as I do like to go for walks and socialize with other dogs and people.
If you have a soft spot for Shih Tzus, I may be the girl for you.
I’ve been named Augustus, because I was saved in August.
You see, I’m a 10 month old, male, puppymill dog and my life could have been been very different than what I will get to experience now.
I’m supposed to be a Lhasa Apso mix, but I’m too tall. I weigh about 20 lbs as I’m rather slim. I could have some Schnauzer, it’s a guess.
I had hair pretty long hair however I needed a grooming and a fresh start, so we’re letting my hair grow in nicely. You’ll need to brush me regularly if you want me to look good!
I’m ok with other dogs. I’m in a foster home and making progress every day. I’m getting a little better at discovering this freedom and new experiences.
I’m still a little uncomfortable sometimes. I need a confident leader to show me what to do. I’m good at doing my business outside but still have some occasional accidents.
I’m not dominant at all with other dogs but I’m not submissive either. I’m good at communicating if I need space.
I don’t trust people much yet, so I avoid contact for now but my foster mom says I have so much potential.
I need to be exposed to everyone and everything. I’m very brave and want to learn and experience life.
I just need someone to show me the world and work with me.
I dont react to cats and I don’t bark…for now. Only when I’m a little scared. I have no separation anxiety so you’ll need to NOT “feel sorry” for me and render me needy for your presence. I’m crate trained (duh) and totally clean in it.
If you think I could be the one, put in your application.
I’m Rain and I was found on the highway in the pouring rain in Beirut last year and was flown to Montreal in April 2022 for a chance at a good life.
Even though I’ve been in foster care for a year, I am still super nervous. I’m not used to human contact, so I’m looking for a home that will give me time to adjust to my new life.
I’m scared but not aggressive, however, touching me is a thing I still don’t like. Not having ever had a collar or leash, it’s been a challenge. I don’t like being grabbed by the collar, and I still hate the idea of a leash. I just don’t move.
So I need a home with a fully fenced-in yard so I can go in and out on my own. I’m good with dogs but show mild resource guarding with my food. I could possibly live with older kids and a cat.
I’ve been crate trained, but I am fine being left alone. It may be a good idea at the beginning when you’re out just in case.
I’m about 3 years old with a lifetime of learning still to come. I am clean in the house and will scratch at the door to go out. I enjoy being outside now that it’s getting warm. You must supervise me however as I tend to flee. I always look sad. I recently had puppies when I was found but my rescuers were unsuccessful in locating them. It is very important that you do not feel sorry for me, however. I need you to be confident and surround me with positive energy so I can feed that off of you.
