Meet Maple: The Petite Queen of Training Class!
At 2 years old and 48 pounds, Maple may be petite, but she has a BIG personality and an even bigger heart.
This smart, soulful pittie girl has been absolutely thriving in her foster home, and there is one thing she looks forward to more than anything else: training class! Maple lives for learning. The moment it’s time to work, she lights up and is ready to show off what she knows.
She’s bright, eager to please, and incredibly tuned in to her people. Give Maple clear guidance, consistency, and a little patience, and she will show you just how much she can shine.
A Star Student ⭐
Maple loves having a job to do. She thrives with structure and a predictable routine, and she feels most confident when her humans provide calm, consistent leadership.
She’ll be happiest with someone who:
Appreciates a smart, trainable dog
Will continue reinforcing her training
Enjoys working with their dog
Can provide calm, confident guidance
For Maple, training is about more than learning commands. It’s one of her favorite ways to connect with her person.
Snuggles, Stuffy Toys & Squirrel Patrol 🧸🐿️
When Maple isn’t busy being top of the class, she is perfectly happy to enjoy the cozy life.
She loves snuggling with her humans, curling up after a busy day, and playing with her stuffed toys. Neighborhood walks are another favorite, although Maple is firmly convinced that every squirrel she sees is there for her to chase.
She is affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to her people. Once Maple trusts you, you’ll have a snuggle buddy, training partner, and devoted best friend all rolled into one.
Maple’s Dream Home 🏡
Maple is looking for an adult-only or older-teen household that understands that slow and thoughtful introductions are the key to helping her succeed.
Maple is not usually dog-reactive when out and about, but she is dog selective.
Her perfect match will be someone who:
Is committed to continued training and structure
Understands and respects her need for slow introductions
Will advocate for her when she needs a little extra space
Appreciates a dog who forms a deep, meaningful bond with her people
Wants a loyal companion who will happily learn, snuggle, and patrol the neighborhood for squirrels
Meet Maple
The best way to meet Maple is to submit an adoption application.
If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, snuggly training partner with a serious squirrel obsession, Maple might just be your girl. 👑🐾
