What does the dog's ideal home look like?
Maple's Ideal Home
Maple would thrive with a family that understands that some of the very best dogs just need a little time to settle in. Because he's a bit shy when meeting new people, he'll do best with adopters who are patient, kind, and willing to let him build trust at his own pace. He would love a home where he can enjoy daily walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to learn. Since he's smart and highly food-motivated, he'd have fun continuing his training and learning new tricks. Maple would be happy as an only dog, receiving all the attention, or with another friendly, playful dog who could help boost his confidence. He has lived with children and can also peacefully coexist with cats that respect his space. Most of all, Maple is looking for a family that will include him in their everyday life, whether it's going on adventures, riding in the car, or simply relaxing together at home. With love, patience, and consistency, Maple will blossom into a devoted, affectionate, and loyal best friend.
What is the dog's rescue story?
Maple's Rescue Story
Maple was found abandoned in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Guadalajara. By the time we found him, he had almost given up. He barely wanted to stand because people in the area had repeatedly abused him, even hitting him with brooms whenever he approached them looking for food. A kind woman reached out to us, pleading for help before it was too late. We went to rescue Maple immediately. The cruelty he had endured left him deeply traumatized. His spirit was broken, and he was extremely fearful of people. Rebuilding his trust wasn't easy—it took a year and a half of patience, love, and dedicated rehabilitation.Thanks to the compassionate care he received at La Casa de Lugo Sanctuary in Colima, Maple slowly began to heal. Day by day, he rediscovered that not all humans are unkind. Today, his gentle, sweet nature has blossomed, and he has learned to trust and love again. Maple's journey is a testament to the incredible resilience of dogs. Now, all that's missing is a forever family who will continue showing him the kindness he has always deserved.
Maple is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to taking him on 10-day a trial adoption.
