Hi! I’m Maiya and you’ve heard of puppies stealing and chewing socks, right?! Well you haven’t really lived until you’ve had your socks stolen with your toes still in them! (insert diabolical giggle here)
My siblings and I got to leave the freezing cold outside and take a car ride to the warm homes of our foster families just in time to start the new year out right. New year, new me, right?!
We’ve been learning how to live inside and potty outside. I’ve found I love to sleep on the big fluffy bed on the floor with the big dogs at my foster’s house.
I had to get used to my crate at this new house, but now I think it’s a fine place to have my dinner, sleep at night and hang out when foster mom has to go to work.
I also love to snuggle in the pillows on my foster mom’s bed! She thinks I’m so funny that when I jump into bed with her I head dive right into the pillows and root around to find a comfy spot. Foster mom says I’m just a big furry noodle with the way we slip and flop running around the house. She also laughs at me when I try to steal her slippers and socks while she’s still wearing them. In my defense, they’re all fuzzy just like my toys!
I live with one of my sisters, two big dogs, two teenagers, and sometimes two elementary age kids come over - they are fun! Since I’m still essentially a toddler, I’d probably be better with a little bit older kids who can manage the reactions to my playful nibbles and jumping while I’m learning how to be a model citizen.
My new foster sister (the big girl German shepherd who looks a lot like my mom did) taught me that our foster mom pays the ice tax and I can collect too! Every time she goes in the freezer, if we come running we get ice cubes!
At first the leash was scary, but I’m getting the hang of it because going on adventures are really fun!
Riding in the car is still kind of scary, so I just lay down and wait it out until we get to the fun places we’re going to.
My sister and I like to entertain our foster humans with our reenactments of WWE RAW. We typically have matinee and an evening show, and then like to crash out in the laps or the couch with our adoring fans. I like to play fetch and learning new tricks to earn treats.

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).

Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
