Maeve’s Story

Maeve came into the SNAFU Rescue via a breeder release. Her breeder wanted her to be placed in a loving home and spend the rest of her years being a spoiled pet.

Maeve is an enthusiastic, active, playful, inquisitive, social, happy, outgoing, and friendly Frenchie girl.  She firmly believes that all dogs and humans were made for her to make fast friends with! She enjoys romping around the house and exploring every inch of her surroundings.  Maeve has an affinity for chasing birds and squirrels which is an indication of a prey drive! She makes it her job to ensure the fenced-in backyard is critter-free.  After a busy afternoon of chasing out pesky critters, Maeve will channel her chill side and find a comfy place for a nap.  She is quick to fall asleep and will commandeer an open lap if she finds one.  After a quick moment of shut-eye, Maeve is ready to rumble and is all about playtime!  She bounces about when she has a burst of energy and is quick to run all around the yard chasing her foster siblings in hopes one is ready to play! Maeve adores all toys during playtime albeit she is still learning the joys of them.  There is not a toy too big or too small that won’t interest her for any period of time. Maeve loves to play with anything that will squeak or crinkle.  When she decides playtime is over she is ready for a nap.  Maeve sure does enjoy a nice long snooze.  She will grab any soft bed or blanket when she needs a nap but much prefers a human lap!  Maeve definitely is a big lap dog; she could lay all snuggled up for hours on end.  Once nap time is over, Maeve once again finds her energy and is off to the races!  If her furry playmate isn’t available, she is content to grab her favorite nylabone and nibble away.  She has a major case of FOMO and MUST be involved in all the happenings of the house especially those of her favorite human. Her overall fun, happy disposition allows her to get along famously with her furry foster siblings.  She has a very lovable and docile temperament which is favorable when she is around other dogs.  Maeve seems to get along with any dog she has met and would thrive with several furry pals to hang around with; she truly is a pack dog!  Maeve does gravitate towards dogs her size or smaller and although she gets along well with larger dogs she much prefers to play and engage with dogs closer to her size.  She has yet to meet any human that she hasn’t fallen head over paws for.  Because of her lighthearted disposition, we feel she will do perfectly well with other dogs and with dog-savvy, gentle, respectful children 6 years old or older; she has a very active demeanor and can be a little bit of a bulldozer and the activity could be too much for the littles.  We also feel Maeve would thrive in a multi-dog household as she emulates other dog behaviors and picks up quickly on what is expected in the home and proper dog manners. If she has her favorite person who is around often and has an abundance of activity, Maeve also could do well as an only dog.  We don’t think Maeve would do well in a home with cats due to her prey drive.  She is experiencing a big change and will need some patience and proper direction to help her acclimate to her adoptive home. Slow introductions to other dogs and children in the household are a must and she should always be supervised to make sure both she and they are kept safe.

Maeve is still working on potty training.  Her accidents are becoming fewer and further between and is nearly fully trained! As with all of our dogs, any adopter must be patient and willing to continue working on her potty training success as she acclimates to her new home and surroundings. Maeve needs a consistent outside routine and a signal for potty.  She is 100% crate-trained and does not have any accidents in her crate.  Even though the crate is NOT her favorite, she begrudgingly sleeps quietly when her foster family happens to be away from the home and rests her little head on a comfy blanket.  She currently sleeps in a soft bed on the floor of her foster family’s bedroom in the evening and is okay doing so but we know Maeve would enjoy sharing a bed with her adoptive family at night as this little cuddle bug finds comfort in those she trusts and loves most. 

Medically, Maeve is in good health!  She has been spayed, nares widened, polyps removed, microchipped, heartworm tested, updated on vaccinations/dewormings, and has been given the okay to adopt by our veterinarian!  

Maeve would do great in any type of home! She has mastered the stairs so a multi-level home would be okay for her.  Maeve does have a prey drive and will try to run, a fenced yard IS required for her ongoing safety and desire to run around with her furry friends.  A shared-walled living situation would be okay for Maeve as she is an overall quiet dog.  Maeve is quite a people’s Frenchie; we think she would love to go to work with her new family if they wanted to take her with them to the office. She would quickly adjust to a workspace and would flirt her way into the hearts of all those in the office. If her people are not able to take her to work with them, no problem at all – she would much rather have a stay-at-home, work-from-home, or retired family member.  Maeve would thrive in an overall active home where all her family members would be involved in her everyday care. She is an overall happy, playful soul who thrives with a routine and has adapted to pet life quickly!  She is very eager to please and just wants to be around her family at all times! She is an adaptable pup that adores her people and furry friends alike.  Maeve loves hard and is an overall sweet-natured girl!
