In the shelter’s words

Mae's life began in an unsupportive and neglectful home. She was confiscated from her original home and brought into a county shelter. One animal on the property had been tethered and found starved to death, and Mae was one of several other dogs that were impounded. She was so emaciated that she wasn't far from death herself. Mae has learned many new things in a loving and supportive foster home, and her foster family has learned a lot about her- and where she would be most comfortable. Mae would do best in a home with another dog, she loves to wrestle and play. Another dog her size or larger would do best, since she can be an exuberant play companion. She completely ignores cats, so having kitties in the home would be ok too. She definitely requires a secured fenced in yard (no underground fences please) and a home that has the capability to utilize gates to keep her safe until she has had the chance to become acclimated to her new environment. She can be a bit nervous with new people, but she warms up fast. She would do best in a home where all children are 12 and over, since she has had limited exposure to children. Mae still carries memories of her past, and the one detail she is sure of is that her previous tormentor was a bald man- she is terrified of bald men, men with hair do not seem to be an issue. She requires an experienced family that will give her the time she needs to get comfortable and blossom into an excellent companion. Mae is leash trained, house trained (though rainy days can be challenging), crate trained, and she rides well in a car. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines.
