Maize

Hi! I’m Maize and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR MAIZE
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/17aPc1qxN1MhqXt39

NOTE: You are unable to meet Maize until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Maize in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.


What I need in my new home:

• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate who is gentle and calm may be okay as boisterous dogs scare me so I will require lots of socialisation with positive experiences with other dogs.
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• A family who promise to keep me well groomed and brush me regularly so I’m always looking and feeling my best
• Lots of love and attention
• TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.


Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Rabbits, guinea pigs & livestock


My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Gentle & placid
• I can sit & stay
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Exuberant & full of beans
• I love toys especially my ball

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this.
• I am social with other friendly dogs however I will react if they are too full on or reactive to me, further socialisation is recommended.
