Maizy - Border Collie and Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Maizy, a two-year-old Border Collie/Kelpie mix weighing 36 pounds.

Maizy is a lovely medium-sized girl with adorable oversized ears that give her an irresistible look. She may be a little nervous and shy when meeting new people, but beneath her cautious exterior is a sweet dog just waiting for someone to believe in her.

Maizy is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can build confidence at her own pace. She'll thrive with plenty of love, gentle encouragement, and the time she needs to learn that the world isn't such a scary place. Because she's still gaining confidence, she'd do best in a home without young children right now.

The family who gives Maizy a chance will be rewarded with a loyal, devoted companion. Once she learns to trust, she's the kind of dog who will form a special bond with her people and be by their side through life's adventures.

If you have a calm home, a kind heart, and the patience to help a shy dog blossom, Maizy is ready to show you just how wonderful she can be.
