My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Maple is a 50# (+/-) pit bull mix.  She was rescued from a shelter and went into a foster home where she was given constant care, encouragement, love and attention and gradually, Maple became more confident – after about 8 months, Maple was evaluated by a trainer and she was placed in a board and train program which lasted several months.  She made tremendous progress.  The training was not necessarily a routine protocol but rather focused on socialization and confidence, and a much improved pup was returned to the foster mom and she began the process of helping Maple be a regular dog – the foster mom discovered that Maple is extremely affectionate, treat motivated and stubborn. Unfortunately - the foster mom's living situation changed from a big house and yard with a dog door and almost total freedom to apartment living with extremely restrictive pet requirements and Maple regressed a little and the trainer again worked with Maple – what the foster is observing now is a socialized dog who wants nothing more than to run and play with the other dogs and puppies but still has some fears that restrict her.  She is afraid of the gates to the dog park, rain, high wind and sudden noises. Maple pulls on a leash and she is strong. She doesn’t follow instructions very well but she knows where she lives and, after doing her “business,” runs like a little racehorse to the front porch and waits patiently to be let in. Her progress has been amazing to observe and, while she still has a lot to learn, she is more receptive to training than she has ever been.  Her living environment is very laid back and she has been allowed on furniture but does love her crate to sleep in. She is totally house trained and her signal that she needs to go out is to go to the door and stand there.  If no one responds quickly, she will find where you are and “lead” you to the door. Maple still needs some training to smooth out her rough edges and give her the opportunity to be loved by a forever family with the time and patience to be sensitive to her needs. She has been cat tested and she showed interest but had no real reaction. She loves EVERYBODY, men, women and kids. She’s never been around toddlers but, she is hefty and enthusiastic so small/young children would likely not be ideal.

More about this rescue

Our vision and our primary mission is to create a better world through kindness to animals. We believe this enriches the lives of both the animals and people. We are dedicated to focusing on rescuing abandoned, abused, homeless, neglected and or unwanted dogs of all sizes and breeds, and then placing them into responsible, loving, forever homes. We rescue and then provide food, shelter, love and, not only routine, but any necessary medical/vet care to dogs in need. We want to help create a community where all animals’ lives matter. Our guiding principal is the Golden Rule. We want to see the end of animal shelter killing and the unnecessary suffering from overpopulation and unwanted animals. To this end, we heavily promote spaying and neutering.
