Are you looking for love? Do you want a companion who loves long walks during the day and cuddling on the couch at night?  Are you looking for a partner who is independent and also gets along well with others?  If so, Mae just might be the one for you!

Most people first notice that Mae is very friendly, enthusiastic, affectionate.  And, at the same time, Mae is gentle in her approach to others. She loves playing fetch and tug and going on walks and meeting new people and especially other dogs.  We have playdates, go for long walks and visit Home Depot!   Mae has great house manners, hangs out during the day, sleeps all night on her couch.  She is house trained and happy to nap in her crate when we go out.  She loves being with us and is fine being on her own, goofing around with her toys.   We have not observed any barking or destructive behavior.  Mae especially loves running and playing with other dogs. We think she would be happy with another pooch or an active companion with a yard and a big heart.

Mae and another dog, Athena, had been abandoned along the road just a short distance from SoCo Rescue's location. Scott Bennet actually came upon the dogs owner as he was he was leaving the two dogs, gave chase when the man quickly drove away and was able to get the man to pull over. Of course the man denied having left the dogs, but his mannerisms told Scott all he needed to know. After questioning the man and writing down his tag number, Scott made his way back to where he had first encountered the man and dogs and was able to catch both dogs, one of them being Mae. After securing the dogs in his bus, Scott took them to SoCo Rescue and contacted the sheriff's department to report the crime, but the department acted as if they didn't care about the incident and refused to send an officer to meet with Scott. 

Since that day, Mae has become accepting of her new home at SoCo, proving to be very people and dog friendly. At first she was kept kenneled with Athena until the latter dog started to act aggressively towards Mae, who did defend herself but was never the instigator. Despite the treatment from her former owner and all of the changes that she's had to endure, Mae has remained a very friendly and playful girl. She loves having room to run, explore and just roll around in the grass. Mae should make a great companion for just about any home, even one with older children. 

Mae has been kept up to date on her annual vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly preventatives since her arrival at SoCo Rescue. On Sept 10 Mae was spayed and tested negative for Heartworm.  She may need additional house and/or other basic training.
