Maya has the kind of joyful spirit that makes people stop and smile. With her long, model-esque legs, adorable Dachshund/Staffie mix looks, and larger-than-life personality, this beautiful girl is pretty hard to forget.

Once she was safe and received the care she needed, Maya absolutely blossomed. Today, she greets life—and pretty much every person she meets—with enthusiasm, affection, and a whole lot of happiness.
