About Maya

Live with another dog: Still assessing

Live with a cat: No

Live with children: 18+

 

Maya is not suitable for a first-time dog owner and would do best with someone experienced with terriers or “sassy” breeds, ideally someone familiar with traumatised dogs. She will need understanding, structure, and ongoing guidance.

She may not be suitable to live with other dogs (a play assessment will be carried out) and is not suited to a home with cats. Maya is looking for an adult-only home (18+) where she can feel safe and supported.

This absolutely beautiful girl has so much potential in the right hands — she just needs someone willing to give her the chance she deserves!

Maya is currently in the care of NSPCA Longford

Registration Number: LD01

Country of Origin: Ireland

Microchip Number: 972274200620726

The Process

The adoption process at the ISPCA is designed to ensure the best possible match between animals and their prospective adopters.

Step One
Contact us

Contact the member society or animal centre and arrange to visit them. To save time you can complete an application form online, directly from the animal page.

Step Two
Get all the info

The member society or animal centre will give you information on adopting an animal, including the cost, and can help you fill out the right forms.

Step Three
Meet him/her

Following an assessment to match you with the right pet, you can meet the animals and reserve the animal you like.

Step Four
Show us around

A home visit will then be carried out to check your home is suitable for the pet you have chosen.

Step Five
Welcome your new best friend

When all the paperwork and checks are complete – you can take your new pet home! A follow up visit is usually carried out to make sure you and your new pet are happy!
