Description:
Meet Maisy!
Maisy came in with the name "Franny" but because she is em"bark"ing on a new life, she is getting a new name too!  Maisy came to us from an out-of-state rural shelter with several other dogs at the end of May 2009.  Since then, she has been kid-tested and dog-approved!  She gets along with everyone, including the resident cat in her foster home.  She loves playing so she would be a great addition to a family with a playful pooch, or some young children to run around with her.

Maisy has been attending a local obedience class with her foster mom and knows MANY commands.  She can sit, lay, up, roll over, shake, stand, "off", drop it, and she fetches (she learned all of these commands in two weeks, with several hours of work a day from foster mom!).  In addition, she does not go on the furniture in the house.  Her foster mom is currently working on crate training, however she so far has not enjoyed being kenneled.  She is catching on to potty training but does not completely get the swing of things yet, so this will likely need to be continued in her next home.  Right now she is very rarely left unsupervised, as there is always someone home.  However, for the most part she is good about not chewing on items that do not belong to her (except the occasional flip flop.  But she's a pup!)

Maisy takes treats very nicely and even when playing never bites or nips.  She would be ideal for a stay at home parent with children, however Maisy really would fit well into most family dynamics.  She does have her quirks...such as random barks for no apparent reason!  In the end, though, she is overall a WONDERFUL dog.  Her foster mom said, "Of the twelve dogs I have fostered with MARS, she is the first one I have let come into my bedroom by the cat food.  I told her no once and that was it.  She hasn't tried to get into it again!"
