My name is Mailou (but my friends call me Major), and I am three years old. From the time I was only a wee pup of six weeks old until just a little while ago, I lived with the same wonderful humans. Then one day they made me sit and they explained to me that we couldn't live in our house anymore. Luckily, my humans found a new place to live, but there was a bad part: the people in the new house didn't want me there, even though I'm SUCH a good boy. I've only ever lived inside, and I even know how to Go Potty and Go Potty More (that's the brown stuff) outside. Brown stuff would be gross inside, wouldn't it? Yuck! I sleep quietly in my kennel at night right after I get my slice of American cheese, and I know all kinds of tricks and commands! I know come, sit, stay, lay, shake, wave, spread 'em (like on those cops and robbers TV shows!), and I even know how to play dead if you shoot me!!! I love to play all kinds of ball games, but football is my favorite. Rumor has it that I like games with balls because I'm neutered and don't have any. I don't understand what that means, but I'll go with it! I will do anything to make my humans happy, but I couldn't do anything to help them this time. 

 

I remember the day they told me good-bye. I tried so hard to cheer them up, but it just made them cry more. I told myself that I would be the best dog ever for my next family. My humans promised me that another family would love me just like they did (maybe even more!!!) because they would be so impressed with how smart and talented I am. I hope they're right. I love to hug my people, to give kisses, and I even like those things that meow and purr if you have them! I like other dogs and even little bitty humans. Look, I'll be honest: I love everyone. Like I told you, I used to have humans who loved me too, but now they can only love me in their heart. I want a home where I can see and hear my humans tell me every day that they love me, and I want to show them how much I love them right back. Do you have that home? Are you my next humans? I will even learn new tricks for you if you let me! Please, please say you'll be my new humans and that you'll never let me go. Thank you for reading! It took a long time for me to type this without opposable thumbs. See you soon!!!
