When Maze was adopted from Lake County Animal Shelter in August 2023, his new family had no idea just how much he would change their lives. 💙💚🧡 Since then, this gentle giant has become the ultimate cuddle buddy and built in best furry friend.🐾 Maze is definitely spoiled (and he knows it!). He can apparently tell the difference between tap water and filtered water from the Brita, and every car ride is exciting because he knows a pup cup is waiting at the end. 🚗🐶

He loves beach days, running and rolling in the water, and playing with his favorite toys, including stuffed Buc-ee's beavers, Squishmallows, and Lamb Chops. 🏖️ But more than anything, Maze loves being loved. His owner says adopting him was the best decision they could have made and believes he is their soul dog. 🥹 Stories like Maze's are a reminder that sometimes the perfect match is waiting right here at your local shelter!

Some fosters just want to stay forever … and Wiggles definitely did! 🐾 Wiggles came home for a short shelter break and never went back.
