About Maple

Meet Maple, an adorable adult Pomeranian looking for a patient adopter. Currently at Wayside's Canine Behavior Center, she has come from a challenging background that included a puppy mill scenario, which means she needs a little extra time to acclimate to home life. While she can be shy and nervous around new people, she's shown great potential through her time in the Confidence College program, designed to help build her confidence in a loving environment. Maple thrives in the company of other dogs and requires a home that already has one to help her adjust. She'll need a secure environment with a fenced yard, as she’s still learning to navigate life on a leash. Although she may be a bit timid at first, the rewards of bringing her into your home will be incredibly rewarding. If you have children, they should be aged six and up to ensure a calm atmosphere for her. If you're ready to offer patience and stability, you might find a wonderful companion in Maple.
