Editor’s Note: This is a weekly series featuring pets up for adoption from the Women’s Animal Center in Bensalem Township.

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — Meet Maui.

Maui is a sweet 7-year-old grey and white pitbull.

He is a playful pup who adores tennis balls and loves to sprawl out on the grass and sunbathe. Maui is affectionately called ‘shelter hippo’ by the Center’s staff.

This handsome pup walks beautifully on a leash and is happiest with his favorite human companion by his side. And we can’t forget that he absolutely enjoys bottom scratches.

Maui is a calm and gentle soul and would benefit from a cozy home and person to share both special adventures and quiet moments.

Maui is deaf but communicates well with our staff. He would do best as the only pet in his new home and is open to meeting children over the age of 16.

Maui is available for adoption at Women’s Animal Center, 3839 Richlieu Road, Bensalem, Pa. (PA Kennel License # 1516) 215.750.5252. Visit the Center’s website to view the shelter pets available for adoption or to make a donation: www.womensanimalcenter.org.

Women’s Animal Center, America’s First Animal Shelter provides a variety of vital services to the pets and people of our community, including pet adoptions, a veterinary hospital, dog training, community programs, humane education, and a pet food pantry for families in need.
