Meet Maple! 🌟 This lovely lady is a gentle soul wrapped in the beautiful form of a German Shepherd, born in January 2022! 🌈 Maple embodies the very essence of relaxation and independence, often choosing to lounge in her cozy bed, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But don't let that fool you—this sweetheart also adores following her humans around the house, soaking up all the love and affection they can offer. All she truly desires are pets, belly rubs, and a bit of playtime! 🐾 When it comes to walks, Maple is your perfect partner! She's quite the detective with her nose, so beware if there's another animal nearby! 🐕‍🦺 While she’s a joy to walk on the leash, get ready for her to bolt if she gets a whiff of something intriguing. Though she has her playful moments zipping around with her toys or frolicking at the dog park, you’ll often find her lounging comfortably at home, enjoying the serene life. A good walk? Yes, please! 🚶‍♀️ Maple is as polite as they come—she sits nicely for her meals and doesn’t beg like some others might. While she’s crate trained, you'll find that she doesn’t really need it as she never touches your belongings. She's fully potty trained, making her a low-maintenance companion to love. 😊 Although Maple tolerates children well, she may have a little bark at other dogs while on the leash. But don’t let that worry you—when she visited the groomer, she was as cool as a cucumber, indifferent to her furry friends. 📅 She’s affectionate with all people, allowing you to inspect her paws, teeth, and even enjoy a little grooming. What a gem! And let's not forget—she’s a good traveler by car and has a heart full of joy! 🚗 Maple would thrive in a calm, low-energy home where daily walks are part of the routine or where she can play in a fenced backyard. If you’re looking for a loving companion to relax with, Maple is the one for you! ❤️ Maple is currently being fostered in Richmond, VA. She’s up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccinations and will soon be spayed, all of which are included in her adoption fee of $375. Her adoption journey is simple—**apply to adopt Maple through the Buddy App!** Remember, adopters should be within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach for her spay/neuter appointment. And let's all remember, sending an inquiry does not equal submitting an application. For Maple's wellbeing, a completed adoption application is **essential** to move forward. Don’t wait—this wonderful girl is eager to find her forever home through the Buddy App! 🎉
