LRGR Adoption Stories
Rescue Changed Their Life. Love Changed Everything.
Sometimes the best stories are the ones told by the people living them.
Maze, A spirited soul with a forever to explore
My husband and my first dog together was a rescued yellow lab with a pink nose. I wish I could say she was the best dog ever, but she really didn’t think she was a dog…however, she stole my heart. When she left us I swore the next time a pink nosed lab was available I was adopting her.
It took a long time for me to find my next pink nosed lab on the LRGR site but when I saw her I immediately filled out the application. She was such a beautiful dog I figured there was no hope, I figured there was already a line up of people wanting her. I worked with an adoption coordinator (who just so happens to also be fostering her) to get everything set up. She was very honest in her description of the dog and wanted us to be sure we were ready for her. She was a big girl, long legs, 80+pound puppy and almost no manners. But she is beautiful-I fell instantly in love with her and she fell head over heels for my husband…so much for her being “my dog”!!
We have named her Mayze - she’s the color of corn - and after several tense situations and a three week sleep away training camp (and some age) she has turned into on of the most well behaved dogs we have ever rescued (she’s #9)
She loves to chase squirrels and birds ( has actually caught one of each). Hates the cold, snow and rain but loves to go swim in the river in the summer. She is very curious and loves to be in the middle of every project that my husband has going on. She’s a great helper at dinner clean up - she is always up for licking the dishes in the dishwasher regardless of hearing every day “no Mayze”.
She has a little big sister Zyn and they have become great buddies!! They both love to go for hikes in the woods around our house with dad where Mayze checks the hole in the tree where the squirrel hides and drink then lie down in the creek to cool off.
We have had Mayze for 4 years now and I am so grateful. Thank you LRGR for allowing me to give Mayze (Elfie) a second chance in life - she’s our world!!
