About Maple

Maple is a compact, soulful 2-year-old pit bull terrier with a real love of learning. She’s become a star pupil in her foster home, thriving during training classes and lighting up when it’s time to work. Maple is smart and eager, responding especially well to guidance and structure—she’s at her best with consistency and a clear routine. Her bond with her people is deep, and she’s happiest when they’re helping her navigate new experiences and advocating for her, whether that means introducing new faces or easing her into dog encounters. Despite her playful energy outdoors (she insists she can catch any squirrel she spots), Maple adores the cozy life inside: she’s a champion snuggler who takes cuddle time and her collection of stuffed toys seriously. She lives for relaxed walks and downtime with her humans. Maple is dog-selective and requires slow, thoughtful introductions to other large breed dogs. She does not get along with cats. She needs an adult-only or older-teen household comfortable maintaining her training and giving her the leadership she thrives on. Large, noisy events aren’t her thing—she prefers calmer interactions with new people and environments. Maple is spayed and house trained, located in San Jose, CA. She’s ready to find a patient, steady adopter who will appreciate her bright mind and loyal heart. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
