About Maui
Introducing Maui who is available for adoption through Be The Change Animal Shelter Inc.
Maui is a 1 year old male German Sheppard cross.
Maui was surrendered to BTC Animal Shelter through no fault of his own, his family just didn't want him back after their new house was built. Maui was placed in a kennel in January 2021 while his family was family building their new house and was left there until recently when they decided they didn't want him back.
It's fair to say that Maui has spent almost half of his short life in a kennel. As a result Maui has had little socialisation with other dogs and no training. This is absolutely no fault of his at all.
Currently we have an incredible volunteer family working with him every day. Maui is learning for the very first time and he loves it and is very responsive! He is food motivated which is great and gives our volunteers something to work with.
Maui is being exposed to the world around him, like going to the beach, agility and the dog park and he just loves it.
Maui is quite picky when it comes to other dogs and can like some and dislike some and we are still working out what his criteria is. Other than this, he is a work in progress, with a focus on ensuring he receives adequate socialisation.
Maui hops in the car with the encouragement of a treat and is ready for his adventure. He just loves the human interaction he is now receiving. Maui is actually a love bug!
Maui is good to walk on lead and knows his recall well. He is working on sit, stay and lay and he is progressing well.
Maui loves exercise and adventures. However he still needs to be introduced slowly new new things given that the world is still new and unfamiliar to Maui. We feel that Maui is probably a little too energetic and boisterous to be homed with cats or pocket pets.
We are looking for an environment where all Maui's needs will be met and he will be part of the family, allowed inside and on family outings. He will require exercise and we would highly recommend continued training.
Maui's adoption fee is $400 and that includes all vet work, microchip, flea and worm treatment.
