About Maple

Meet Maple! This 1-year-old mini-Kelpie/Shepherd mix weighs just 26 lbs. She's a sweet and calm companion who thrives on human interaction, particularly with kids. Maple has soulful eyes that seem to look right into your heart. Initially shy and skittish, she quickly warms up with a bit of patience and becomes an endearing best friend. A home with teenage kiddos would be perfect for her. Fully house trained, Maple respects her foster family's home, making her a low-maintenance pup. She thrives in a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and would benefit from a confident doggy sibling to help build her confidence. Maple is learning to feel comfortable in her crate, where she enjoys spending time during the day and sleeps quietly through the night. This gentle soul needs an adopter who will introduce her to the joys of life slowly and lovingly. Maple is currently in Warren, RI and is adoptable in Texas and the Northeastern States.
