Happy Wet Nose Wednesday! Let's talk animals.

There are hundreds of animals on the SouthCoast waiting for a place to call home. Every week, we shine a light on one lucky animal in hopes of finding them the perfect family.

With the help of local shelters, we share their stories. This week, we head to Fall River where a big cuddle bug is hoping to be your new friend.

Meet Mazikeen. Mazikeen is an 80-pound pit bull/mastiff mix residing at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

She may be a big girl, but she is convinced that she is a lap dog.

"While shy at first, it takes her almost no time at all to warm up, and then all she wants to do is be near you or right on top of you," said the shelter.

Mazikeen is incredibly smart and knows many cues. She adores her toys, loves her treats, and makes friends with everyone she meets.

"She might actually be part bunny because she's always bouncing around," said the shelter.

The shelter requires her forever family to own their home with no cats. One other canine for her to be friends with would be ideal and children should be at least twelve years of age.

Does Mazikeen sound like a good fit for you and your family? Contact Forever Paws online and schedule a play date today.

Mazikeen cannot wait to meet you.

If SouthCoast Dogs Had a Dating App, It Would Look Something Like This

August 26 is International Dog Day, and it got me thinking. What if there was a way for dogs to connect with other dogs in the area to make new friends? Or maybe even find love? Twenty-six dogs living on the SouthCoast sent me their profile picture and bio. Let's see the eligible pups.
