About MAIZY

** ARIZONA ONLY ** Maizy was found by a very nice lady through NextDoor. Maizy was a one-year old Chihuahua rescue who someone needed to re-home. Emaciated and unsure but with a spark of hope in her eyes, Maizy stood in the yard ready to meet her new owner who was immediately in love. Though the cute little pup didn't resemble a Chihuahua, she was small, weighing 11 lbs at just a year old. However, when Maizy's new mama took her to the vet, he said she was not a Chihuahua and was a very young pup who would likely grow to be 30 pounds. Within one month, Maizy gained 9 pounds. She is now 'really' a year old and weighs 36 pounds. She may have just a wee bit of filling out to do but will probably stay near her current and perfect medium size. Maizy has worked with a dog trainer; she did well and knows basic commands. A DNA test was done and it turns out Maizy is primarily Siberian Husky, as well as several other herding breeds! While not at all the dog this upper-middle-young-aged lady wanted to adopt, she loved Maizy and was going to try to make it work in spite of having a small patio-sized yard that would be perfect for a Chihuahua ���S Recently, Mama took Maizy for a walk, tripped on the leash, and now requires wrist surgery. With this, and the realization that Maizy needs exercise and activity and a yard where she can run and enjoy some outdoor time, her mama is reluctantly seeking a new home for Maizy. This beautiful young and healthy girl is funny, energetic, playful, and very smart. She can be just a little bit shy initially but learns to trust and is happy to be part of the family. She would do well in a home with an active person or family who has time for her, and would also do well with another dog. Maizy is fully vetted - spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. We can set up a meet & greet upon approved application. Please email to request one.
