Maybach








Maybach was found wandering with our little puppy Bowie and one other dog in the Bayou St. John area of New Orleans. They appear to have been abandoned. Maybach is a very small teenaged pit male -- he currently weighs about 33lbs and is about 8 months old. Maybach is a super-sweet, happy, friendly guy who is learning his manners. He is red brindle with white and a mostly white face, except one adorable red spot around his eye. He's so handsome!
