Maumi
Meet Maumi! Maumi is a sweet, loving, cuddly baby-giant mastiff mix boy. He was born in a dog-meat slaughterhouse in Korea, and was rescued with 20 other puppies, in the “golden time” before he witnessed any atrocities. Most of the rest of the 21 puppies have found homes – and Maumi wants to be next on the list!
Maumi is generally calm, and then has bursts of joyful play. He is smart, and learned the dog-door as soon as he came to his foster family! He follows everyone around, and likes to get in on the action. He gets along well with his foster doggy-companions, and his foster human-children. He’s quickly learning house manners, and now takes toys from the dog-toybox, instead of chewing on rugs. He is still a mischievous puppy, and might take a kitchen towel or search through a grocery bag now and then, but he’s so cute, you have to forgive him.
Maumi would be good in a home with another dog who can give him confidence. He came from a traumatic situation, so he can be head shy, so needs to be in a home with children old enough to understand and respect boundaries around bodily autonomy. He hasn’t had a lot of exposure to the Big Wide World, so sometimes it takes him a while to warm up to new situations.
Maumi is currently being fostered in Santa Rosa. We are looking for a home who understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a puppy as a member of their family. Maumi is patiently waiting!
