Maple

My story

*Fostered in Hamilton*Apply at rebeldogrescue.com*FOSTER TO ADOPT Maple is an adorable mixed breed who was found wandering the streets of Austin, TX, pregnant. She was rescued and came to Canada, becoming mama to 7 little pups. Now that her babies are preparing to go to their forever homes, it is time to find Maple a family too! We are unsure what her breed is, but she has a long body, long hair, and adorable ears - one sticking up and one flopping down. She has been an amazing mama, and has been protective of her babies towards those she doesn't know. Once she accepts you she will love you. We wonder if this may stop once she is no longer with her babies - however, continued socialization/training should be considered. Once Maple trusts you she is a darling. She will crawl beside you or into your lap on the couch and seek out affection. She loves belly rubs and getting pets. Like most dogs she has a couple things to improve on, such as sometimes being leash reactive, but overall she is a pretty low maintenance gal, and will make a wonderful companion. Can go to forever home after June 29.Name: MapleBreed: Mixed Breed Age: ~2 yearsWeight: ~12lbSex: Female, spay booked at partner clinic in HamiltonColour: Brown and whiteMedical: Severe overbite, No concerns Good with men: Yes, after warming upGood with women: Yes, after warming up Good with kids: 10+ - has met young kids and done well but has not lived with kidsWhen the dog meets new people she…Approaches cautiously, may bark at them.
