MAISY — HOUND MIX
Age: 5 years.
Story: Maisy is past all those crazy puppy antics, but she’s still young enough to love playing and being with her humans. She’s an affectionate, loving little dog who loves nothing more than to curl up in your lap and soak up pats and kisses. Maisy is a bit timid by nature, so she needs a loving adopter who understands her unique needs. Loud noises like the dishwasher or washing machine upset her, so she needs a safe place (like a crate or a quiet room) to go to get away. Given her timidness, Maisy should go to a home without other dogs or small children. Maisy sometimes snaps at other dogs and kids when frightened to give them a warning. (She doesn’t bite, just warns.) In addition, her new home must have a secure block fence, one at least 5 feet tall, as she’s a springy little dog and likes to explore.
Fee: $150.

In 2014, her mom died and some months later, BeBe got a new mom and for the past three years, BeBe’s life has been great, but now mom is ill and had to return her to Paws Patrol once again. Her foster home has other cats, but she is making the best of the situation. BeBe loves to be petted, brushed and doted on. She can be a picky eater but has certainly not missed many meals.
