Maya Mixed Breed Victoria, BC

IN A BC FOSTER AND LOOKING FOR HER FUREVER HOME

People relinquish their pets for various, often heartbreaking reasons, including cost of care, insufficient housing options for pet owners and access to veterinary care. However, quite often people see their pets as a commodity and do not take enough responsibility to get the basic care done, including spay/ neuter. This ends up adding newborn puppies to the already problematic overpopulation. The easiest way to deal with this is to put them in a bag or a box and dispose of them. This was sadly the case with Maya, who was thrown into an empty lot along with her sister and brother. Claudia was not sure how long they had been there trying to survive without food and water to the careless looks of people passing by, but she cared enough to pick them up and bring them to the shelter where she arranged for a vet visit. They were filthy, full of ticks and flies and had skin infections but fortunately, none of the scary illnesses were present. After initial care and treatment, they were ready to leave their past and look to a brighter future.
Maya is a beautiful mutt, about 7 months old and weighs approx. 13 kilos.
Despite being a puppy, Maya behaves well and gets along with humans of all ages. She gets along with the rest of the dogs in the shelter as well as the cats. She is happy to share her food with other dogs and is not possessive of her toys or sleeping area. Staff at the shelter are working on her potty training, walks on leash and some commands. So far, she is doing good with the first two and has learned what “no” and “ven” (come) means. Maya can go to a family with other dogs to play with or no dogs so she can get all the love for herself.
The adoption fee for Maya is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Maya to join your family, please apply at the following link: http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html
