Meet your new furry friend
Meet Maui, a loving goofball who's mastered sit, shake, and down. Beneath his energetic exterior, he craves a calm, cozy home environment away from busy areas where he can relax and be a couch potato. With basic management, Maui could live with cats. If you're ready to offer Maui a patient forever home, filled with relaxation and adventures, he'll be your loyal companion for life!
MAUI’S ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN SPONSORED BY A GENEROUS PETS IN NEED VOLUNTEER! Plus, he has a scholarship for two free training sessions with a certified trainer from Underdog Academy!

What we do
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit animal shelter, we transfer in dogs and cats from public shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized due to space or financial limitations. We then provide them with the best possible care and enrichment until we can help them find their forever homes.
