Susan J. Eischeid | Submitted PhotoPrepare to have your heart stolen! Meet Maybelle, a 4-year-old, spayed, red hound mix with an incredibly sweet disposition. Maybelle is on the small side and is calm, a little shy and very gentle. She would rather cuddle than explore, and when you come close will hug your legs with her paws and crawl into your lap for some loving.
