Found at Galloway Avenue & Decatur Street - 38105

Well, with National Dog Day, of course, we had to feature an adoptable dog, and who better to introduce you to than this dark and handsome stud?! This is Maze (#MASA15875)! He came to MAS less than two weeks ago as a lost pup. 

He is estimated to be three years old, weighs 54 pounds, and is heartworm positive.

A volunteer recently spent time with him and provided this insight:

"Lets talk for a second about the aMAZing MAZE!! What a handsome man! This cutie is kind and helpful when being leashed and unleashed. He has some playful energy, enjoying running in the yard and interacting briefly with another dog in the next space. I sat on a bench in his yard and let him do his thing, but he didnt forget about me! He would periodically come to rest his head in my lap to get some cuddles and love from me. He loves good scratching as well! He would probably love going on jogs before cuddling up on the couch for a nap at his forever home! Come meet Maze ASAP!"

Look at those sweet brown eyes. 
Maze went on a foster field trip, and heres what his field trip chaperone said about their day together:

Maze is the sweetest and most gentle dog ever! He is well-behaved when it comes to riding in the car, walking on a leash, or being around people! He was patient when we gave him a bath and cuddly/loving the whole day! He was a little hesitant with the stairs but conquered them fearlessly every time! Maze is a very easy dog who listens and is excellent with all the children who pet him during our time out! He never had any problems eating, riding in the car, or with people in his face. We loved Maze and know he will be the perfect dog for the perfect person!"

If you are interested in Maze, come meet him at 2350 Appling City Cv any day of the week between 12 and 4 pm! You can also send us an adoption inquiry directly from his webpage found at memphistn.gov/animal-services/i-want-to-adopt/
