About this Dog
*** COURTESY POST: Maisie is NOT an AHOTO dog; please contact Laura Walsh at [email protected] for more information. ***Meet Maisie – A Sweet, Resilient Girl Ready for Her Forever Home 13-month-old Female Mastador (75% English Labrador / 25% English Mastiff)Maisie is a beautiful, intelligent young Mastador with a heart full of love and a story that speaks to her strength. This gentle giant was on the verge of being surrendered to a crowded county shelter before a compassionate family stepped in to foster her and help her find the home she truly deserves.Maisie’s journey hasn’t been easy. Her original owner made the difficult decision to rehome her because her size and energetic play style were overwhelming for the toddler in the household. She was then placed with a temporary foster, but one of the resident dogs in that home did not like her, creating a stressful and unsafe situation. With no viable options left and the shelter becoming a last resort, a kind couple intervened to keep Maisie out of the shelter environment, which would have only added to the trauma Maisie had already experienced.Maisie has been thriving in her current foster home. She’s house-trained, fully vaccinated, and knows all of her basic obedience commands. She's a smart and playful girl who loves to engage with people once she feels safe. Initially, she can be anxious or timid when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she forms strong, loving bonds and becomes a loyal and affectionate companion.Unfortunately, while Maisie gets along well with one of the resident dogs in her foster home, she has not been accepted by the second dog. This mirrors what happened in her previous foster placement and suggests she may do best in a home where she can be the only dog, or with a very carefully matched canine companion.Maisie has also started to learn how to coexist peacefully with cats. She had no previous exposure to them, but under close supervision has been responding well to redirection and the “leave it” command. She’s showing real potential to live with cats in the right situation.Due to her size, strength, and youthful exuberance, Maisie is best suited for a home with no small children under the age of 10. She has never shown aggression, but she doesn't yet understand her strength and could accidentally knock a young child over during play.Maisie is a striking dog — muscular, smart, and loving — and she needs an experienced owner who can give her the structure, space, and ongoing fear-free training she needs to thrive. She would love a home with a yard where she can run, play, and just be a dog.Maisie’s Quick Facts: Female Mastador (F1B – 75% English Lab / 25% English Mastiff) 13 months old Knows all basic commands Fully house-trained Up to date on vaccinations Strong, playful, and affectionate Needs a yard Best with experienced owner No small children under 10 Good with select dogs Learning to coexist with catsMaisie has come a long way and deserves a forever family that will offer her the stability and love she’s been waiting for.

Contribute to Maisie's Stash!
100% of Maisie's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Maisie.
Adopt Maisie and Receive Maisie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Maisie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Maisie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Maisie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maisie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Maisie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Maisie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Maisie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Maisie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
