It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update about Lacy. For those new to following Lacy’s story, she is a 16 month old lab /pit mix. (Spayed & vaccinated). 

Lacy was returned to us a few months ago for fear-based anxiety that resulted in several biting incidents. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. 

When Boogietime closed, we had to act quickly to find her somewhere to go.  We reached out to various organizations and several individuals. We found an a rehabilitation organization that could help Lacy. We are on a waiting list but there is no guarantee that she will be accepted. 

In the meantime, Mayte’s Rescue is paying for her to fostered by someone who knows her and understands her needs. We are grateful that Lacy is safe and being well cared for BUT this is just a temporary resolution. We can’t afford to continue to pay a daily rate for boarding. 

We are asking for the community’s help on this. We need another organization to accept Lacy and take over her care or someone that will commit to giving Lacy a forever home free of visitors until she can be she can rehabilitated.  

We are open to any and all suggestions. Please email us at rescue@mayte.com

Previous update 







Lacy is a 15 month old lab /pit mix. She is spayed and vaccinated. She has come back into the Rescue. (our name for her was Maple)
We originally rescued Lacy in April 2022 at 3 months old. Her long term foster adopted her almost one year ago. A short time after adoption Lacy’s behaviors changed. From her Dad:
“Lacy is suspect to new people, particularly in the house. After several months I had to warn people not to get too close to her head. As she would snarl and at times snap at them to warn them not to get too close. When visitors came over, she was unrecognizable and made many guests feel afraid. These strange and angry growls made guests uncomfortable and, on several occasions, led to bites; none of which were reported. She does fine on a leash and often feels more comfortable when on the leash meeting new people. It’s as if she knows this is a little protection point for her and everything is safe her. She was super popular in the neighborhood while on walks, as people respected her space“
Lacy has since been evaluated by two different trainers.  These are their recommendations:
Lacy will need a special person that can understand her history and see her potential. Someone who can rehab her 24/7 in a home or training environment to reset her habits.  With patience and love, she will adapt to her new person. Lacy is unpredictable and protective of her home. It is recommended that her new home be free of visitors until she can be rehabilitated.  She is going to need a lot of time and patience from someone who can provide clear and consistent communication in a way that makes sense to her. Lacy does not like a lot of petting or physical affection until she gets used to someone. Ideally she should be the only dog in the home or with a dog that is larger in size than her and no children. 

We are admittedly in over our heads. This is not something we have dealt with in the past. Lacy’s challenges will intensify if she remains with us in boarding. We consider this to be an urgent situation.  We are asking for your help to find a home or another organization to help this girl. Please email us at rescue@mayte.com
