Oh — hi! Maris here.
I can't believe someone's actually taking me home—I'm basically a professional blanket warmer who also does adventures, sniffs, and cuddles on demand!
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I've been holding down the fort in Princeton, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Maris

About Maris
Looking for a canine companion who embodies comfort and joy? Meet Maris, a truly sweet and easygoing girl ready to find her forever home! Maris is a champion cuddler, happiest snuggled on the couch under a blanket with you. While she adores indoor snuggles, she also relishes outdoor adventures (as long as it's above freezing!). Maris is a social butterfly! She's lived peacefully with cats and showed playful curiosity when meeting other dogs. On walks, she's a polite leash walker, though she loves to zig-zag and sniff out all the interesting scents. A little practice checking in with her human will perfect her leash manners, but she truly enjoys her daily strolls. A safe, leashed environment is a must, as Maris doesn't have a reliable recall. This gentle soul is currently on a limited ingredient diet and paw medication, but don't let that deter you from this wonderful girl. Maris is content with a daily walk and some fun "sniffy time" in the yard, but is always up for more if you are! Get ready for her adorable foot stomps and huffs when she wants to play, and the full-body wiggles of pure joy when you walk through the door. Maris is the perfect blend of snuggly not clingy. She loves soft toys, relishing in their destruction (but never ingests fluff or squeakers!). A word of caution – she can be a little enthusiastic during tug-of-war, so sturdy toys are a must! If you're searching for a loving, playful, and wonderfully sweet addition to your family, Maris is waiting to meet you! Maris is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
