(DOB 02/20/2024) Maple is a very energetic dog and looking for an equally active person or family. She wants to play with everyone and everything, even if they don't want to, like cats or old dogs. Walks and play time are a must; she doesn't seem to run out of energy. So if you have a similar "energizer-bunny" lifestyle, this girl is waiting for someone just like you!! Her favorite thing to do is to be around her humans bringing one toy after another to have someone play tug-o-war or fetch with her. She loves to run outside, but without a companion or human she will quickly get bored and try to go find her friends again. She has a bit of social butterfly personality for sure. Maple wants another PLAYFUL & F-U-N doggie friend in her forever home! She would be lonely as an only dog and would miss the playful interactions of a furry sibling. Doggie day car is another fun daily activity for Maple.
Maple is a bit of a digger. She loves being outdoors and rooting around in the backyard. The backyard is full fun and adventure. She will often try to stick anything she sees on the ground in her mouth; oh, some of the joys of puppy-time. Maple would love a fenced in yard to play with her doggie friends and it would probably be best unless her new family was committed to a lot of daily walks, jogs, playtime and outings to burn off her energy.
Maple is a friendly girl and likes other dogs, is good with kids but they should be older just because of her energy level and excitment, and is also ok with the cats at her foster home but will chase them. She also has no stranger fear and loves to meet new people; certainly, she believes, they are loving meeting her, too! She is a bit nervous in the car to start but settles in.
Maple sleeps in her crate and goes into her crate when she is told; she does so with a little piece of kibble as her "big" reward. She can sit and stay when told (and working on other commands). She is also working on leash training and still pulls. Plus, if she sees a squirl, bunny or something she definitely is still very interested and would love to take chase! All in good fun, of course.
She hardly ever barks, but if she knows it's dinner time she will whine the cutest little whine. Who doesn't get excited over a delicious meal?
As part of Maple’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
