Maizey is a 9-month-old black and tan Chihuahua mix. She was purchased as a puppy and then given to a variety of family members who did not have time for her. She was finally relinquished to the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

She is a sweet and affectionate puppy who loves to cuddle, play and nap under warm blankets. She is initially timid and shy around strangers, and needs a little time to become comfortable in new situations, but when she feels at home, she's happy and friendly. Her foster family is helping her feel safe and loved, and she is blossoming into a wonderful little companion.

Maziey learns new rules quickly and is very obedient. She doesn't like the cold, and she can be easily frightened. She's used to having her family around and would prefer to live in a house where her owners are home frequently, and where she isn't left alone for long periods of time. Otherwise, she'd be a very good family member for an owner looking for a small, quiet dog to share the couch with. Maziey gets along well with smaller dogs but is afraid of large dogs and would not be comfortable around them on a permanent basis.

Maizey is currently enjoying her foster home and is waiting for you to meet her! Adopting from foster is easy. Just email adoptions@hshv.org or call 734-662-5585 ext. 111 to arrange a play date!
