Meet Maizie, the social butterfly!
Hello! My name is Maizie and I am an 8-year-old maltese mix with a spunky, outgoing personality.
I have blindness in both eyes (well, I can see some shadows in my left eye) but that doesn’t slow me down one bit! I love to explore and adapt to new environments very quickly!
I love ALL dogs and humans as well, though I would do best in a household where the kiddos are at least ten years old.
I’ve overhead some people say they can’t believe I’m even blind because I seem to “see” my surroundings. Well, that’s because I have an extra strong sense of smell and hearing. Seeing shadows also helps me not run into walls and stuff!
Caring for a pet with blindness is pretty easy! I’m low maitenance, but could really thrive in a house that’s kept clean and with a layout that isn’t changed too frequently. Sound cues, like a windchime by the back door for when I’m out in the yard, help me out too!
If you make kissy sounds, I’ll come running your way! I think that’s my favorite sound in the world.
I do hope you’ll come visit me here at the SPCA of Northern Nevada. I promise as soon as you meet me I’ll win you over with my charming personality!
The SPCA of Northern Nevada is open Tuesday – Sunday from 11am – 6:30 pm.
