My name is Maple!

3.5 y/o Plott Hound, Maple, is as sweet, friendly and adorable as can be! Favorite pastimes include sitting on the deck to soak up the sun, walks, puzzle toys, and bedtime snuggles. Maple had a bumpy start to life. She was a stray and taken to a shelter, then to a foster in an open rural area. The foster described her as low energy and quiet. A year ago, she was adopted into a small home with a fenced yard in a crowded, active neighborhood. At first, Maple was just as described, but she soon started showing signs of anxiety, due to difficulty adjusting to the smaller space with constantly changing sights and scents - walkers, bikers, and animals, some wild. The overstimulation feeds her anxiety and manifests in barking, pacing, and pawing. Maple is currently very well loved, but given her breed and temperament, would better thrive in a home with more open space and freedom to run/exercise. She is social and playful and would do OK with older kids or a friendly canine companion.
