Please note that a dog's behavior often varies from one environment to another, and a decompression period in a new environment can last days to months. General Personality: Maple is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and cuddly. She is very gentle. She has a soft, mushy personality and thrives on love and attention. Maple is timid but friendly, especially when meeting new people. Daily Routine: She typically wakes up around 7 am, goes to the grass patch in the backyard to relieve herself, then eats breakfast. If the weather allows, she goes for a morning walk. In the afternoon another walk depending on the day, with playtime and rest in between. Early dinner is around 3-4 pm. About 45 minutes after her meals, she has a bowel movement. After evening playtime and relaxing, Maple sleeps through the night in the bedroom in her crate. Is the dog housebroken? Yes, to our environment, floor plan and routine. Behavior Around Dogs: Very polite and playful. Maple lives in a foster home with dogs big and small. Please note: There are no cats or kids in her foster home. Energy Rating (1 = very high; 5 = very low): 3 Leash Walking Rating (1 = difficult; 5 = perfect): 3 Leash Behaviors: Maple enjoys going on walks and is very curious about her surroundings. She does pull a bit at the beginning of walks, especially when she is excited, but tends to settle and walk more calmly as the walk goes on. She is still learning leash manners and continues to improve with consistency and guidance. Crate Rating When Left Alone: Enjoys spending time in her open-door crate filled with toys and cozy blankets to nest in. Does the dog sleep through the night? Yes Other Quirks: Enjoys rotisserie chicken from Costco as a “high value” treat. What makes him/her happy? Maple is happiest when she is close to her people. Playtime with her toys also makes her happy, as does having a consistent daily routine. What makes him/her nervous or unhappy? Maple can be startled by loud or sudden noises such as vacuums, or unfamiliar sounds outside. She may bark briefly when she hears people or loud noises outside, but she settles with reassurance and redirection. Other Displayed Behaviors and Information: Recently had one eye enucleated and subsequently spayed. Maple is acclimating to her “new normal.” Current Walking Device: Harness with leash and ID tags attached to her collar. Currently Eating: Taste of the Wild Venison or Salmon flavor mixed in with canned pumpkin and a hard boiled, crumbled egg. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
