🐶 About Me
Hi, I'm Maple 🍁
While some puppies dive headfirst into every new adventure, I'm a little more thoughtful. I like to stop, watch what's going on, and work things out before joining in. Once I've figured it all out though, I'm more than happy to get involved.
I'm the calmer, more laid-back puppy of the bunch, but don't let that fool you—I'm still a puppy! I love to play, explore, and get up to all the usual puppy antics. I just tend to think before I leap.
I'm learning lots every day and picking up my training really well. Crate training is coming along nicely too, and I'm settling more each night.
🐕 My Personality
🩷 Calm and easy-going
🧠 Thoughtful and observant
🐾 Gentle nature
🎾 Playful without being over-the-top
📚 Enjoys learning new things
😊 Happy to take life at her own pace
🏡 My Ideal Home
🏡 A family ready for the commitment of raising a puppy
🎓 Someone committed to ongoing training and socialisation
🐾 A home where I'll be included in everyday life
💜 Patient people who'll continue building my confidence and teaching me good manners
🐶 I'd happily live with another friendly dog
🐾 My Social Life
Adults: Friendly and affectionate
Kids: Living with children and doing well
Dogs: Lives happily with other dogs
Cats: Living with cats and doing well
Chickens & Ducks: Lives alongside chickens and ducks in foster care. As with any puppy, ongoing supervision and training will help her learn appropriate manners around them.
🚶♀️ My Lifestyle
🎾 Enjoys playing and exploring
🧠 Likes to observe before jumping into new situations
😴 Settling well into crate training overnight
🏡 Enjoys being part of family life
🐾 Full of normal puppy curiosity and mischief
🎓 My Training Journey
I'm already making great progress.
✔ Learning my basic manners
✔ Crate training is improving every day
✔ Settling well into a routine
Like every puppy, I'm still learning. My new family will need to continue my training, socialisation and help me develop into a confident, well-mannered adult dog.
Puppies are a big commitment. There will be chewing, jumping, toilet training, and plenty of moments where I'll need guidance and patience. The time you put into me now will shape the dog I become.
💛 I'm Looking For
🩷 A family committed to raising a puppy
🎓 Ongoing training and positive guidance
🐾 Plenty of play, enrichment and new experiences
🏡 People who understand puppy life takes time, consistency and patience
💜 A home where I'll be part of the family
💌 The Perfect Match
If you're looking for a puppy with a calm, thoughtful nature who's happy to take the world in at her own pace, I could be the perfect fit.
I'm already showing that I love to learn, and with continued training, socialisation and guidance, I'll grow into a wonderful companion.
If you're ready for all the fun, hard work and rewards that come with raising a puppy, I'd love to meet you.
