In the shelter’s words

Meet Maple Maple has been in foster care since September 8, and her transformation has been beautiful to watch! She was found as a stray in an area known for dog breeding. She was extremely scared and skinny! She spent nearly two weeks decompressing and learning that she was safe. With patience, gentle care, and the freedom to build confidence at her own pace, this sweet girl has come out of her shell. A Quick Snapshot of Maple * Personality: Smart, very curious, playful, and full of emerging puppy personality! * Favorite things: Chew toys, exploring, belly rubs, walks * Signature move: Her adorable army crawl and flip over for a belly scratch * Dog-friendly: Enjoys playing with her Border Collie and Chihuahua foster siblings and is respectful of her elderly Pomeranian foster sister. * Home habits: vocally quiet in her foster home, not food-aggressive, and has shown no signs of aggression. Eat, play, sleep!! * Safe spaces: Comfortable using a crate and large exercise pen. * Potty training: Understands potty pads but barely uses them now. She is making awesome progress going outside and knows the word “potty.” Everyday is better and better. * Building Confidence. Gentle handling, patience and soft tone helps her feel safe. She may submissively tinkle when unsure until she is confidence in the relationship. Once she feels safe….she shines! * - Maple has really started loving walks and appears like she could potentially make a great running partner for someone!!! What Maple Needs Maple needs a loving family who understands that trust takes time. She needs consistency, positive reinforcement, and a patient/loving approach. Her foster mom has spent a great deal of time learning Maple’s body language, comfort level, and unique little habits and will gladly help her future family make the transition successful. Maple has already made incredible progress!! Her intelligence is shining through, her playful personality is emerging and is SO fun! She really is an amazing dog and would make a fabulous friend! Could you be the safe place Maple has been waiting for?
