MAYA
DOB: July 2019
STATUS: IN FOSTER CARE
FOSTER UPDATE - MARCH 4, 2025
Hi everyone, it’s Maya checking in! I’ve been settling in so well—no accidents in the house (because I’m a proper little lady)! My heat is all finished, and I recently went to the vet for a checkup. They found an ear infection and a UTI, but don’t worry—I’m on the mend! I’ve also been a little itchy, so we’re trying out some allergy medicine to help with that. The vet called me beautiful, well-behaved, and gentle (which, if you ask me, is completely accurate). I’ll be going back soon for a check-up, and before long, I’ll be ready to be spayed.
In the meantime, I’ve been showing my foster family just how wonderful I am. I’m an excellent passenger in the car—calm, happy, and always ready for an adventure. When my foster family has to leave me at home for a few hours, I don’t mind at all. I wait patiently, behaving like the perfect girl I am. But when they come back? Oh, you know I’m ready for snuggles! I love to cuddle any chance I get, whether it’s curling up beside my humans or sneaking in for extra belly rubs.
I’ve also learned a few new things! During food prep, I now go to the dog bed in the kitchen so I’m not underfoot (even though I could be the best taste-tester). And after much stubbornness, I finally mastered shaking a paw. At first, I didn’t see the point, but then I noticed my foster sister getting treats for it—so, obviously, I had to give it a try!
Speaking of my foster sister, we coexist just fine, though I don’t really want to play with her. I mostly like to do my own thing, but I’ve learned that if she wants to snuggle with Mom, I have to be nice about it… even if I’d rather have all the snuggles for myself. That’s all for now—sending pug snuggles your way! 💖
FOSTER UPDATE - FEBRUARY 8, 2024
Maya has been making great progress! She’s no longer having any accidents in the house, which is a huge win. She even lets us know she has to go with a loud demanding bark. She’s also getting more comfortable with grooming—she even lets me trim her nails now without any fuss.
With the colder weather, I was a bit unsure how she’d react to winter booties, but she doesn’t seem to mind them at all. She absolutely loves going for walks and is surprisingly speedy! She’s fantastic on the leash, keeping up with a nice pace while staying focused.
When it comes to mealtime, she still prefers to graze, but we’re working on getting her to eat two meals a day more consistently. She’s still in heat, so we’re waiting for that to finish before taking her to the vet. Overall, she’s settling in well and continues to show more of her sweet personality every day!
FOSTER INTRODUCTION - JANUARY 27, 2025
Meet Maya, our sweet little 5 year old foster pug with a heart full of potential! This shy and timid girl is still adjusting to her new surroundings, but we’re giving her all the love and patience she needs. Maya had a bit of a restless first night, with a mix of light naps and soft whimpers, letting us know she’s still figuring things out. She’s currently in heat, so she’s rocking an adorable doggy diaper – a little pug fashion statement! There have been a few accidents in the house, but hey, that’s all part of the process as she settles in. Maya may be timid now, but we can’t wait to see her confidence bloom!
