MAIA
Maia is a purebred female Soft Coated
Wheaten Terrier. Her DOB is 8/10/05

She is a owner turn-in. Below is
information from their original email
about her:

I have a puppy that has urinary
incontinance. Because of her continual
leakage we had her tested at the
veterinary hospital at the University of
Pennsylvania. A serial radiograph was
done and found that her bladder is in the
wrong location. The bladder is located
towards her tail within the pelvis area. In
addition her ureters appear to enter her
bladder a little further back than normal.
The condition is congenital meaning she
was born with the problem.

She was purchased in a petstore in New
Jersey towards the end of November
2005 so I assume the dog was born in a
puppy mill in Missouri based on the
papers we received with the dog. The
petstore has been very cooperative and
have paid for all the testing that was
done.

She is a great dog with a lot of
personality, very gentle with children.

Maia is a playful, spunky girl who loves to
run and jump and play, play, play!

Maia's story is a familiar one to us. We
have gotten several dogs with these
same problems:

Hazel Betsy Abby

UPDATE

Maia has been moved to a new foster
home to begin learning how to wear
pullups so that she can successfully live
in a new home. We will update on her
progress as more information becomes
available.

UPDATE FROM FOSTER MOM:

Maia is settling in nicely to my home. She
is a smart girl and is learning her basic
commands quickly. She is doing well with
the diapers. She will stand still when I
clean her and put her diaper on. She gets
along well with my dogs and loves
playing with them. She also loves to
cuddle and would be content to cuddle
all day! She gives lots of kisses and
always wants to be around people. She
has gorgeous Wheaten eyes that like to
gaze up at you and you can see her love
when you look into her eyes. She is well
behaved and I have not had any
behavioral issues with her. She likes to
chew on her toys and she needs to have
things to chew on but has been good
about only chewing on approved toys.
She is such a sweet and loyal girl, she is
going to make someone so very happy.

UPDATE

Maia has now been trained to wear
pullups while indoors and does not
remove them. She is ready to move on to
a forever home at anytime. There are no
ongoing health problems to worry about
with Maia. She is perfectly healthy.

You could not ask for a sweeter or
smarter Wheaten to add to your family.
She gets along well with other dogs and
loves people. It will be a very lucky family
that takes Maia home with them!

Maia is spayed, UTD on shots and is
located in Sheboygan, WI
