3/2/2025 Little Mavis has found her happy ever after!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Little Mavis is the sweetest 7 yr old French Bulldog/Pug mix, that has had the saddest of lives, but is now safe in a foster home in Gloucestershire, where Starfish Dog Rescue are looking for her forever home.
Mavis, along with another dog and puppies, was removed from an appalling hoarding situation where it is believed she was at some stage used for breeding. Her whole history is unknown, but it is felt that in her past she may have experienced the warmth of a home, as she was unlike the frightened , shut down dogs that are usually the product of a breeding scenario. She does however still show scars of her past, flinching from sudden movements and showing submission to the humans around her.
She is understandably traumatised by her past and so needs understanding and patient new owners that will be prepared to take things slowly and let Mavis, in her own time, learn what it is to be truly loved.
Mavis will need an adult only home where she is the only dog. She is a very gentle soul, that craves the affection and love she hasn’t felt for a very long time. She lights up when she is cuddled and it’s wonderful to see how she relishes being in someone’s arms or on a warm lap. Video here of Mavis loving her treats and being so gentle.
A quiet and peaceful home, with not a lot going on, nor lots of visitors would be ideal for Mavis. A little garden too where her owners are around a lot of the time. Perhaps a retired person/couple could give this gentle little soul the perfect forever home ?
Mavis loves her walks and is calm around cars and walks nicely on the lead, which again suggests that at some point she has been a pet and used to living in a regular home. She is not good with other dogs in the home, and it is believed that this is fear based. Check out the video of Mavis enjoying her walk with her friend here.
Mavis will be spayed, will have started her vaccinations, have had her flea and worming treatments, and have had any necessary dental treatment, before leaving the rescue’s care.
