Maya, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maya
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Shepherd, Rottweiler mix
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   I would like to introduce my puppy. Maya is twelve months old, but I remember the first time I saw her like it was yesterday. She and three of her siblings were rescued by an organization when they were only eight weeks old. They were found in a basket with no fur, covered in mites and lice. One of the siblings was too weak and sick to make it, but three gorgeous Shepherd/Rottweiler mix girls were treated and brought back to life. When we came to meet the puppies, Maya came over to me and placed her front paws on my thigh as I was sitting on the sidewalk. She picked me, and I fell in love. She was five months old when my fiancé and I brought her home, but she proved to be a quick learner and a dog. We didn't ever have to ask her to sit for a treat twice. It's like she has manners built in!

    Maya loves other people, but protects me on the streets from questionable individuals. You should hear her bark! She carries my umbrella for me when we go for walks; she makes circles around me at home when I'm dressing to hurry me up; she leans on my leg and lies down on the bathroom mat with her toy while I'm brushing teeth and getting ready. She rests her snout on my lap as I eat in hopes of getting a piece of whatever I have.

    She is an energetic dog just as much as she is a lazy bum. She loves baking in the sun next to the open balcony door, rolling from side to side every 20 minutes as if to ensure an even tan. We love her to death and hope you will too!
