Meet Maris, Your Low-Rider Queen of Snacks & Snuggles 

Maris is a sweet and soulful older gal (around 10 to 12 years young) who has mastered the art of living life at her own, gentle pace. A beagle/basset hound mix with the most endearing floppy ears and a nose that still knows, she’s looking for a quiet forever home where she can be loved for exactly who she is — a mellow cuddlebug with a heart full of love (and a belly always ready for treats!).

Maris’s Journey:

She’s been through a lot — including a few surgeries — and she’s come out stronger and even more lovable. Arthritis means she doesn’t do stairs, but she’s perfectly content with ranch-style living or anywhere that doesn’t ask her to climb. She moves with intention, and she’s got the waddle-wiggle combo down to a science.

Her Favorite Things:

✅ Soft dog beds near her humans
✅ Mealtime (her enthusiasm is unmatched!)
✅ Short sniffy strolls
✅ All the snacks! 

Despite her age and aches, Maris still has a zest for life — she’ll greet you with a happy tail and light up when she hears the crinkle of a treat bag. Her eyes sparkle when she’s included in the action, whether it’s a lazy movie day or a quiet evening on the porch.

Ideal Home:

Maris would thrive in a calm, single-level home with someone who appreciates slow walks, warm companionship, and a loyal dog who asks for very little other than love, patience, and the occasional bite of your sandwich (if you’re not careful!).

Ready to give a wise, wonderful girl the retirement she deserves? Maris is waiting — tail wagging, bowl empty, heart full. ❤️
