Over 150,000 people have seen Maya's story. And not one application. How can that be? Where are our FROSTED FACE DOG LOVERS?

Right after someone sent me a message about an 11 year old dog declining in the shelter, I opened social media and the first thing I saw was Caylee Hammack singing about “old dogs”

I don’t know if you believe in signs, but I do. It was too coincidental to be anything else.

Here was Maya-an 11-year-old dog who found herself back at the very same shelter she was adopted from more than a decade ago.

So we said yes.

Meet Maya. Or as we lovingly crowned her “Maya-Moo” or “Mai Mai”

We’re looking for a person or family willing to be a steward for Maya’s golden years. Someone who recognizes sometimes the best gifts come a little frosted.

The thing about Maya is that she’s wonderfully uncomplicated.

✨Food motivated and always excited when snacks are involved.
✨Happy to lounge nearby and keep you company while you go about your day.
✨Has done well with other dogs, though she’d likely prefer friends who match her calm, easygoing energy rather than rowdy puppy antics.

A few things her future family should know:
✨We’re helping Maya lose some weight so life is a little easier on her joints.
✨As a senior girl, she’ll benefit from joint supplements, routine veterinary care, and all the extra TLC that comes with growing older.
✨We have not cat-tested Maya, so we can’t speak to how she’d do with feline friends.

If you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to a senior dog, maybe Maya is the one you’ve been waiting for.

And maybe, just maybe, you’re the person she’s been waiting for too. 🧡

✨ Our Adoption Process
Our adoption process is designed to support both the dog and the adopter. We encourage questions, honest conversations, and taking the time needed to ensure a good fit. When adoptions are intentional, everyone wins - especially the dog.
If you’re considering adoption, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help find the right match, and we want adopters to feel confident, supported, and genuinely happy welcoming a new companion into their lives.
