Maiya Cuddler of the Year - Bulldog and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hi there.... I'm Maiya!

Boxer X Bulldog mix
Weight: 48 lbs
Estimated Birthday: 3/13/2024

I have a little secret... I've spent so much of my life taking care of everyone else that I almost forgot what it feels like to be cared for myself.

Not too long ago, I was living life as a stray, wondering where my next meal would come from and if anyone would ever notice me. Then the amazing people at Sunnyside Street Dogs changed everything. They showed me that full bellies, soft beds, kind hands, and love are real. Turns out... I like this being spoiled thing.

I also became the proud mama of three beautiful puppies. I loved them with all my heart, and now they've all found their forever families. I'm so happy for them... but I can't help hoping its finally my turn.

Everyone tells me I'm one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet; very gentle and easy going, especially with little ones. One of the rescue mommas introduced her one year old kiddo to me and it was wonderful - we loved each other and shared similar curiosity and gentleness...... she even laughed when I tickled her ear with kisses!
I love being around people, soaking up affection, and going for walks. Speaking of walks... I have wonderful leash manners, so whether were exploring the neighborhood or taking a stroll through the park, I'll happily be right by your side - anytime day or night.

I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just a family to love, a cozy place to rest my head, and someone who will remind me every day that my stray days are behind me forever.

I've spent my whole life giving love. I'd love for someone to choose me.
Could that someone be you?
