SPCA Pet of the Week – Maize

(SPCA of Texas) Meet Maize, the dazzling brindle-and-white beauty with a laugh-out-loud smile that could brighten anyone’s day! At 3 years old and 46 pounds, this sweet girl is the perfect mix of playfulness, resilience, and pure heart.

With her striking coat, a dark tail tipped in white, and a grin that stretches ear to ear, Maize is one of those dogs you just can’t help but fall in love with.

Maize has mastered the art of spreading sunshine. She’s the type who greets you with an enthusiastic tail wag and a look that says, “Isn’t today the best day ever?” She adores attention, thrives on gentle pets, and makes every moment feel a little more joyful just by being herself.

Whether she’s basking in the sun, leaning in for affection, or flashing that famous smile, Maize knows how to brighten a room — or a whole yard.

This brave girl recently had a leg procedure and is still on the mend, but don’t worry — Maize isn’t letting that slow her down! She’s available now through our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can start your journey with her right away. Give her a comfy spot to heal and plenty of love, and before you know it, she’ll be ready to officially call herself yours forever.

If you’re searching for a loyal companion who’s as cheerful as she is charming, Maize might be your perfect match. She’ll bring a mix of laughter, snuggles, and sunshine into your life — not to mention that unforgettable smile.

Come meet Maize at our Dallas Animal Care Center (2500 Lone Star Dr, 75212), any day from 12 to 5 p.m. Her adoption fee is just $75, but the joy she’ll add to your home is priceless.

Ready to fall for Maize? She’s waiting, smiling, and wagging her tail just for you!
