Maude is a gentle soul with a tri-color coat and expressive eyes who is currently on her journey to wellness and is not quite ready for adoption yet. This delightful 5-year-old girl is receiving ongoing medical care, including treatment for whipworms, and will need to complete her veterinary care before she can join a forever family.
Personality
Maude forms strong bonds with her humans, although she can be shy when meeting new people. Once you’re in her circle of trust, she’ll stay close by, soaking up attention and affection, while still appreciating her independence. She’s calm, steady, and has a quiet confidence that makes her easy to have around. Kids, men, and women are all within her comfort zone—she seems to have a slight preference for women but warms up nicely to anyone who is gentle and patient.
Maude is happiest when she has a routine: she enjoys exploring outside, taking leisurely walks, and then relaxing with her people on the couch or a comfy spot on the floor. She can be quite funny—when excited, she’ll spin in happy circles, especially if she knows it’s mealtime or a favorite activity is coming up.
Home Life & Habits
Maude is house trained and does her business quickly outside, making morning routines a breeze. She’s also crate trained, viewing her kennel as her safe haven and resting spot. She sleeps and eats well in her kennel, and she’s not a picky eater—she’s currently enjoying two meals of Purina One each day.
While Maude is generally calm around other dogs, she sometimes gets jealous and might prefer to be the only dog in her new home. She is indifferent to cats and would do well in a household with respectful children and feline family members. She likes to carry small “treasures” like socks to her kennel and enjoys her own bed and toys.
Maude does well in the car and settles quickly for rides. She tolerates baths and nail trims with ease and is learning basic commands (she’s mastered “sit” and is eager to please). She’s good on the leash, though she sometimes likes to carry the leash in her mouth and play tug, so a bit more practice walking consistently on one side would help her shine.
Medical & Adoption Status
Currently, Maude is being treated for whipworms, though recent fecal results were negative. She still has some loose stools, likely from stress and dietary changes. Maude is not available for adoption for another few weeks as she is recovering from her spay surgery.
Ideal Home
Maude would thrive in a calm, loving environment where someone is home much of the day and can give her time to adjust. She loves human companionship and will be happiest as the only dog, where she can soak up all the attention. Respectful children and cats are just fine with Maude.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and can wait while she completes her journey to full health, keep Maude in mind. She’s ready to be someone’s best friend and promises a lifetime of gentle, steadfast love. Stay tuned for updates on her progress and availability!
