Unleashed: Collared today: Maebe - A blog for animal lovers on pets, dogs, cats, shelters and animal rescue

NAME: Maeby.

OWNER: Emily and Steve (aka, Mommy and Daddy).

HOW THEY MET: Our precious pit bull Rosie had passed away in December 2008 after a long battle with lymphoma. Our two male dogs, Moby and Buzz, became deeply depressed a few months later, and so we decided to get them a puppy to cheer them up. We went to BARCs in May of 2009 and found our little Goblin Princess, Maeby.

She got her name from our favorite show, "Arrested Development." She was about 20 pounds underweight, bald from a flea allergy and had an under bite. Perfect for us!

AGE: No one knows, but somewhere between 9 and 18 months. It was hard for BARCS to tell her age due to her condition.

HOME: Catonsville.

BREED: Pit Bull/Baltimore City Street Mutt.

MALE OR FEMALE: Princess.

BEST TRICK: Beating her 85 pound brother at tug of war (she only weighs 45 pounds!)

FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Going to her Aunt’s house to play with their 10 pound Chihuahua mix and eat food the toddlers left all over the floor.

FAVORITE FOOD: Snowballs, especially with marshmallow.

FUNNIEST MOMENT: She has lots, but it would have to be the time she wore out her big brother Buzz, and instead of leaving him alone, she sat on top of him and continued to play bite his ears and neck. Buzz fell asleep, and Maeby still kept playing with him.

GOBLIN OF GOODWILL: Maeby has made such a difference in the lives of our 2 male dogs. She is their best bud and has brought happiness to our home again.

IF MAEBY HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Livin’ the good life.
