Maple

Maple is a sweet, jumpy, and delightfully goofy Australian Kelpie with a heart as big as her energy. She lights up every space she enters, bringing joy everywhere she goes, whether trotting beside you on a walk or bouncing around with her dog friends. Maple is a social butterfly who loves hanging out with other dogs and fits right in with a playful pack. Her goofy charm and expressive face make her impossible not to love, and she's always happiest when she's with her people or her dog buddies.

As an Australian Kelpie, Maple embodies the breed's characteristic intelligence, high energy, and eagerness to please. Kelpies are known for their strong herding instincts, which translate into a need for mental stimulation and physical activity. She's a good walker who enjoys exploring and is eager to learn, already knowing 'sit'. Her short coat requires low grooming, with moderate shedding, but her energy and exercise needs are very high, demanding consistent engagement.

Maple has been around younger children and handles their energy with gentle enthusiasm, making her potentially suitable for a family with active kids. An ideal home for Maple would be one that can provide ample exercise, mental enrichment, and consistent training to channel her natural drive. She thrives in a playful environment and would benefit from a home that includes other dog companions or offers regular opportunities for dog-socialization. She is not yet housetrained or spayed, so her new family should be prepared to continue her training and veterinary care.
