Meet Maple!

Maple is a lively and house-trained Doberman with an endearing mix of energy, intelligence, and loyalty. She’s learning the value of structure and respect, so her ideal family will set clear boundaries and encourage her to earn privileges. This helps her thrive and respect her humans, as she can sometimes be a bit pushy and mouthy when she’s excited.

An active girl, Maple loves her daily exercise, covering over 3 miles a day on her walks. She’s a solid walking companion with good leash manners, and her love for adventure makes her an excellent match for a family who enjoys being outdoors.

Socially, Maple shines! She recently had a successful meet-up with four other Dobermans, showing off her friendly, adaptable nature. She’s also gentle and sweet with children, including those in her foster home. Her play style is respectful with other dogs, whether it’s on walks or through the fence with a neighbor’s dog.

Maple is not just playful—she’s a clever, quick learner who’s already mastered commands like sit, stay, down and even “paw” for a friendly shake. With a bit of structure and consistent training, she’ll happily continue building her obedience skills.

Her ideal home is one that’s ready to offer clear guidance along with companionship and exercise. With her confident, friendly, and energetic personality, Maple will thrive in an active home where she can form strong bonds and be a loyal, fun-loving member of the family.
