Maiya is around 2 years old, she is a red merle female Aussie. Maiya is a little shy at first but warms up very quickly. She is crated during the day while her foster parents are at work and, for now, at night. She is quiet, calm and content in her crate and will enter the crate on the “in” command. She is a polite little lady in the car and will just sit and enjoy the scenery. She walks respectful on a leash and understands basic obedience commands: sit, down, stay and come although, come is still a bit intermittent. She stood and tolerated her bath like a trooper and loves to be brushed. You can pick up her feet, touch her tail, look in her ears and mouth without issue. She is a laid back eater, not greedy or possessive and takes treats very gently. She gets along well with both dogs and cats. She will play Frisbee and catch but doesn’t always bring them back. She sometimes runs by you hoping you will chase her instead. She is considerate of the house and will go potty outside but she needs to be let out often as she doesn’t yet know how to tell you she has to go. Maiya is quick to learn and very willing to try anything for praise. She is a typical velcro Aussie that will follow you anywhere just to be near you. She hates thunder and really loud noises but doesn’t get crazy just nervous and will pace. She would be in your lap if you let her. The foster family has a 2 paw rule when your sitting – 2 paws on me 2 paws on the floor. Which she is more than happy to respect. The vet estimates her at about 2 years old and she weighs 36 pounds.

We are wondering if Maiya is still available. We just lost our beloved Rosy after almost 15 years and are in need of a red merle female and Maiya looks and sounds like she would do fin on our Colorado mountain ranch.
Please let us know her status.
Thank you very much,
