About Maple
Maple learned sit, drop and stay within three days of arriving in foster. That's the good news. The other news is that a bored Maple will invent her own job, like herding the foster family's chooks. She thrives on agility, scent games and long runs.
The home she's hoping for
An experienced, active owner with a secure yard who wants a training partner, not just a pet. Older kids who understand dogs are fine.
“Gets anxious if left alone for more than a couple of hours. Calm and cuddly once she's had her exercise.”
