This young female dalmatian appears to be extremely meek and docile but rather protective when she is near Milo, her son.
The beginning of their story goes back to the day when Maeve gave birth to her first litter, splendid puppies that unfortunately were already destined to have another home. Milo was the smallest puppy, the last born, he weighed less than his siblings and was also the most shy, rather than playing with others he would prefer to remain close to his mother and fall asleep under the protection of her soft fur.
When the puppies became adults they were adopted, Milo was still the weakest and stayed with his mom a little longer to make himself strong. During these months Maeve took care of him, cuddling him every day and teaching the puppy the basics of behavior, at night they slept together on the large pillow in front of the fireplace and during the day they played on the lawn chasing each other. They thought that their life would be forever so peaceful but fate had something else in store.
Their elderly owners fell ill and mother and son were taken to the shelter, their life completely changed and suddenly they both found themselves without a reference point, without a place to call home.
Of course, everyone in the shelter was kind to them but simply that was not their place, Maeve felt like a fish out of water, she did not feel at ease and her only thought was to protect at all costs Milo. The young mother initially did not eat if she was not in the same kennel as her son and did not sleep except near him. Recently both have learned to trust the shelter volunteers and feel more secure, a little of the light-heartedness they had lost has returned into their eyes.
Now all they want is to find both the perfect home and have the chance to see each other occasionally to play together as it once was. They both have life ahead and need love to be happy!
