Maple

My story

Hi, I’m Maple! 🍁🐶 I’m a 1-year-old Spitz–Welsh mix with a fluffy coat, short little legs, and a heart that’s ready to love — all packed into a petite 9kg (about 20 lbs) body. I was rescued from a shelter just in time, and now I’m dreaming of a forever home where I’ll never be scared or alone again. 💛 A Gentle Soul When we first meet, I might be a little shy — I’ve been through a lot, so I take a moment to feel safe. But once I know you're kind, I open up quickly. I really love people and I’m happiest when I’m near you. I’m affectionate, playful, and if you have a treat or two, I’ll be your best friend even faster! I also love playing with other dogs and making furry friends. I’m still young, so I enjoy running around and having fun — but I also know how to walk nicely beside you on a leash. I try to be polite and well-mannered, because I want to make you proud. 🎓 Still Learning I’ve never lived in a home before, so I’ll need your help learning some things — especially potty training. Sometimes, if I’m left alone for too long, I might feel a little anxious or get into some puppy mischief. But with a loving family, patience, and a stable routine, I’ll grow into a confident and well-behaved companion. I’m very treat-motivated, which makes training easier — and more fun for both of us! I just need your time, your guidance, and your love. 🏡 What I’m Looking For A kind, patient family who will help me learn and grow A safe space to call my forever home Daily walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles Someone who believes in second chances — because I sure do 💕 Despite everything I’ve been through, I’ve never stopped believing in people. My heart is full of hope and ready to be part of a family who will love me just as much as I love them. Could that be you? Let’s write our happy ending together. With all my love, Maple 🍁🐾
