#NOBASSETGETSFORGOTTEN
Name: Maisie
Sex: Female
Age: 6
Location: North Wales
Maisie has been in foster since October 2024 and has proved herself to be a lovely, loving little girl. The only reason why her foster family are putting her blog out there to the world is because they want to continue to foster, even though it's breaking their hearts to say goodbye to this little girl.
Maisie arrived with us a closed down, nervous girl who's male owner had passed away. She was anxious on arrival and needed to be near people, her foster dad especially.
We immediately noticed a lump on her foot, her side and her head, as well as her skin, eyes and ears being quite inflamed. She has had the required surgery on both her foot, her head and her skin inflammation is now under control with specialist food. Her ears have been flushed and are all clear now but do need regular cleaning. Her eyes are also now clear after a course of drops. Maisie has been signed off by the vets as healthy and happy.
In foster we have learnt that Maisie cannot live with cats or small furries - so please do not apply if you have these.
Maisie loves her walks, and has enjoyed chasing and playing with her foster siblings at the freedom field.
Here's what her foster family have to say about her
Maisie is a very gentle natured girl who loves her cuddles and to sit next to you on the sofa .
She has no issues with food or toy guarding , loves playing tug with her toys as well as playing with other dogs she is gentle but when excited will bark in excitement when playing this is the only time she actually barks .
She so enjoys long walks would happily walk miles. Loves countryside walks /parks /beach /freedom field or even around town walks where she greets everybody with lovely waggling tail and bum. If the person gives a lot of fuss then Maisie may jump up at them.
She is well behaved in dog friendly shops /cafes . After her walk she likes to sleep for a couple of hours stretched out anywhere .
No issues with vet visits she will run in excited to see them all.
She is fully housetrained and will let you know if she needs to go out. If she wants anything from a cuddle to food /toilet /walk she will let you know by either lifting her paw to you or a gentle squeak /cry .
Maisie travels really well in either the boot or back seat of the car. I use a ramp but she can jump in.
Not bothered with chasing cats /squirrels /rabbits while she has been here when outside, but did fixate and chase the resident cat in her temporary foster, so no small furries or cats in the home.
Maise lets you clean ears and teeth and does get the zoomies after a bath, don't they all!!
She ideally needs someone who is at home at least most of the day and a resident dog or two for playing with and companionship she will follow them around in case she misses something .
She loves sleeping upstairs but not keen on stairs waits to be invited up and down the stairs, she will settle downstairs with other dogs for company. Maisie doesn't like crates apparently, was told this from vet as she struggled in one when recovering .
Likes to wonder around the house and sleep where she feels comfortable.
Possibly suited to older children who will play tug and cuddle her.
She has such a sweet, friendly nature always happy and snores when sleeping. She simply makes you smile just by looking at her.
Maisie's Needs - Please consider all of these before you put your application in
- Resident dogs who she can play and settle down with
- Someone who will continue with her food so her skin inflammation doesn't return
- Someone who is home a lot of the time and who is prepared to work with Maisie's separation anxiety. She can be left with resident dogs for a couple of hours after a good walk.
- No small furries or cats in the home
- Someone who is happy to go on long or short walks and keep Maisie's exercise up
- Maisie has never lived with children so only older (10 years and above) children in the home
-- Someone who is around most of the time in the initial few weeks to help Maisie settle in

Are you Maisie's Lobster?
Taking on a rescue dog is not the easy option. You need to be prepared to help a confused and troubled hound find their place in your family. They have been through a massive upheaval and will need time to settle into a new way of life, so please consider this BEFORE you fill in an application.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Maisie is subject to an adoption fee of £200.00 and a successful home check. If your home check is successful, your family including dogs will need to be able to travel to their foster home to meet her and her foster family.
You will also have a telephone call with a member of the team, plus Maisie's foster family, so that all of her history can be shared with you in person, and that we can be assured that you can fill all of her needs, demands and requirements.
Maisie comes with 5 weeks free insurance via our rehoming partner, Agria.
Maisie, as with all of our hounds will have full rescue back up for life.
