Maisy needs a foster carer
About Maisy
🐾 Meet Maisy 🤍
Hi there — I’m Maisy, a purebred female Maremma puppy with a happy personality and a big future ahead of me!
As you can probably tell from my photos and video, I’m a beautiful white young dog but I won’t stay little for long.
In early March, I weighed about 15 kg, and like all Maremmas, I’m expected to grow into a large adult dog of around 35–45 kg at maturity, so I’m looking for a home that understands guardian breeds and is ready for the responsibility (and the rewards!) that come with them.
I’m a confident girl who enjoys meeting people and exploring the world around me. I like to think of myself as brave, curious, and just a little bit independent — classic Maremma traits. Because of my confident nature, I’ll do best with an experienced family who understands large working breeds and can guide me as I grow.
Maremmas are famous for their loyalty and devotion, and in the right home we make wonderful family dogs — calm, steady companions who take our role of watching over our people very seriously. With space to grow, good guidance, and plenty of positive experiences, I’ll become a deeply loyal member of the family.
I’m available for adoption under ARK’s Deferred Desexing Program, which means my adoption fee includes the cost of desexing when I’m old enough, subject to terms and conditions.
