Maisie

Maisie is now available for adoption!

Maisie is a 4-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This spunky, smart girl is a quick learner and an excellent communicator—she’s always ready to let you know what she needs (usually more snuggles or treats).

Maisie is also a tripod, but don’t let that fool you! She’s gaining strength every day and doesn’t let anything slow her down.

She’s been potty-trained since 10 weeks old (impressive, right?) and is also crate-trained. She’s already learning basic cues like sit, down, and spin, and she even has a special trick—waiting patiently in her spot while her food is prepared!

Since Maisie is still teething, she loves anything she can chew, so having plenty of toys on hand is a must. She’ll thrive in a loving home that continues her training and gives her lots of love and patience as she grows into the amazing pup she’s meant to be.

If you’re looking for a resilient, intelligent, and affectionate companion, Maisie might just be your perfect match! 💜🐶


Maisie Needs You!

At just 10 weeks old, Maisie was found abandoned along a highway—either hit by a car or cruelly thrown from one. She was covered in road rash, in pain, and suffering from a severe broken arm. The shelter that took her in had no resources to treat her, only to keep her medicated until we could step in.

Maisie’s break is even more complicated than we feared, affecting her growth plate. We are consulting with our orthopedic specialist –  her surgery and recovery will be costly with estimates from $3,067 to $9,216 depending on the plan of action that will give her the best possible outcome. Maisie doesn’t deserve the pain she has endured in her short life.

Please donate today to give Maisie the chance for a happy, pain-free future. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for believing in second chances! 🐾

Update 2/23/25 – Maisie had her surgery and unfortunately her left front leg could not be saved because of the location of the injury. The good news is that she is no longer in pain, has already begun her recovery, and is doing great! Her right front leg also had a break which is healing. Her expenses to date are $6,091 and she really appreciates everyone who is helping her. In her first few days post-op, she has learned to balance her body, take short walks, and go on outings in the backpack – to Home Depot and on a hike – to get the “real-world” experiences that all puppies need!

Update 3/13/25 – Maisie had her check up and has been cleared for adoption!
