Meet Maple!
Maple is 9 weeks old. This little girl may may be the smallest puppy in the crew, but she certainly doesn't act like it! Maple was born on June 26, 2026, and currently weighs just 7 pounds.
Being the smallest doesn't stop Maple from making sure everyone knows who's in charge. She has absolutely no problem taking on the biggest boys during playtime and letting them know that size is not what determines who runs the show. She is playful, confident, and always ready to join the fun.
When playtime is over, though, Maple has a very different agenda. She loves a good lap and doesn't particularly care how you hold her. On her back, in your arms, tucked against you... if you're holding her, she's happy.
Maple is one of Athena's 10 puppies. We don't know exactly what breeds make up this litter. Athena appears to be a Pit Bull mix and weighs about 60 pounds. We also aren't sure if all of the puppies have the same dad, so there could be some interesting surprises hiding in their DNA. We have sent a Wisdom Panel DNA test for Java and are waiting to see what it reveals about this mystery litter.
Although Maple is currently the smallest of the puppies, she is expected to grow into a large adult dog, likely around Mom's size. Because of that, her forever home will require a physically fenced yard where she can safely run, play, explore, and burn off all that puppy energy.
Maple is at the perfect age to begin learning everything she needs to become a wonderful family dog. Her new family will need to continue working on house training, basic obedience, and socialization using positive reinforcement. Like all puppies, she will need patience, consistency, supervision, and plenty of opportunities to learn as she grows.
Maple has been spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and has received her first distemper/parvo vaccine. Her adopter will be responsible for two additional distemper/parvo vaccines and her rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.
Maple is ready to meet prospective families and is looking for someone ready for puppy kisses, playtime, training, cuddles, and all the adorable chaos that comes with raising a puppy.
She may be the smallest puppy in the crew, but Maple has a big personality, a little bossiness, and an even bigger love of laps.
