Mae - Black Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Mae A Bright, Beautiful Soul Ready for Her Forever Home

At just 10 months old and 35 pounds, Mae is the perfect blend of intelligence, athleticism, and affection. Shes incredibly smart, eager to learn, and highly food-motivated. Her foster family taught her several commands, and she quickly mastered them, including sit, shake, down, wait, and leave it. Shes house-trained, crate-trained, enjoys car rides, and never turns down a game of fetch, frisbee, or an outdoor adventure.

Maes story began in heartbreak. Left in a cardboard box on the side of the road during a pouring rainstorm, Mae and her tiny littermates were cold, hungry, and frightened. Their devoted, underweight mother stayed by their side until a compassionate woman rescued the family and brought them to safety at SOS el Arca, our partner rescue in Mexico.

Today, Mae is thriving and ready for the loving family she has always deserved.

This beautiful girl will make you smile every day with her playful zoomies, goofy personality, and endless enthusiasm for life. She loves durable chew toys, learning new things, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with her people. If youre looking for a loyal adventure buddy, Mae is your girl.

Mae gets along wonderfully with other playful dogs and would enjoy a canine companion. She is not a fit for homes with cats or small dogs. Because she can get excited during play, a home with children 8 years and older would be best.

Mae can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with gentle introductions and a few treats, her sweet, loving personality quickly shines through. Once she feels comfortable, Mae forms deep bonds and becomes incredibly devoted to her people. She loves being close to her foster family and is happiest by your side, whether youre out on an adventure or relaxing at home. Mae has all the qualities of a true best friend, and watching her gain confidence and learn to trust has been incredibly rewarding.

Mae is:
- Spayed
- Microchipped
- Fully vaccinated
- Dewormed
- 4DX tested
- On flea, tick, and heartworm prevention (Simparica)
- House-trained and crate-trained
- Dog-friendly

Her sister Molly and brother Monty have already found their forever families in New York, and now its Maes turn.

Mae has overcome so much in her young life, yet she greets each day with joy, curiosity, and love. All she needs now is someone willing to believe in her and give her the forever home shes been waiting for.

Mae survived being abandoned in the rain. Now shes waiting for the sunshine of a family to call her own
