About Maev
Maev is a lively, loving, free-spirited girl with a forever puppy personality. She's always happy and full of life. She loves to start her day with coffee cuddles, followed by post-breakfast belly rubs. Water is her happy place-she becomes a mermaid the moment she splashes in. She's always up for an adventure, whether it's a hike or walk around the neighborhood. At home, she and her mom enjoy a playful yard routine hunting squirrels that dare enter.
