Mae is a goofy, lovable Mastiff/Shar-Pei mix with an "oversized toddler" personality. She adores people, giving free kisses, and gets playfully mouthy when excited. Mae does well with other dogs but prefers a home without cats or birds. She is great with older children who can handle her clumsy affection. Mae is housetraining, learning leash manners, and kennels well, promising daily laughter to her forever family.
