About Maple
Hi world!
My name is Maple and I’m looking for my furever family. As my name suggests, I am a sweet and affectionate little brown kelpie who loves to stick close to my family. My foster family have found me to be very well behaved and easy to train. I was immediately friendly toward my kelpie foster sister.
I have a loving temperament and really enjoy spending time with people. I love walking merrily beside you off lead and when I am on a lead, I don't pull. I absolutely adore walking in the bush with my foster dad and sister! As I am an older lady, I do like to keep my walks short - up to about 2km at a time.
I like to split my time between being indoors and outdoors - which is something I'd want to continue at my forever home. I am happy to relax wherever my family is. I love a good cuddle and a pat. I will never say no to a snuggle in the lounge room while you're watching a movie.
I love playing with my foster sister although if the game does get too active, I can be knocked over easily due to my age. If my new forever home has another dog who could be gentle with me and not too boisterous, I promise the same in return. I am passionate about playing ball and learn quickly when the reward includes some time chasing a ball. I even play ball on my own! I have also learnt to drop the ball on command.
The vet thinks I am around 10 years old but knows that life hasn’t always been as kind to me as it is now. Due to my past and age, I do have some ligament damage and arthritis in my back legs that means I need gentle play and exercise. I am working on putting on some more weight and muscle.
I have been de-sexed, vaccinated, wormed and am fully house trained. My foster family thinks I am the most beautiful sweetheart of a girl, who deserves to be treated with kindness and love which I am sure to return in spades.
Medical notes
Arthritis and past ligament damage in back legs. Currently taking green lipped mussel supplements to ease symptoms as directed by the vet. Otherwise healthy =)
