Maple - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ready to turn over a new leaf? Meet Maple, a tiny bundle of puppy energy who's ready to grow up surrounded by love, adventure, and plenty of fun!

Maple and her five siblings were found as strays before making their way to PAWS. Since we don't know much about the first month or so of her life, she's looking for a family that will help her write the rest of her story.

Maple is full of spunk and personality! She's a fiery little pup who's always ready to play, explore, and see what exciting thing comes next. Like any young puppy, she's equal parts adorable, curious, and mischievous. Her future family should be ready for everything puppyhood brings: establishing routines, positive training, socialization, enrichment, playtime, snuggles, and celebrating all of those exciting milestones along the way. She would especially love a home with a friendly resident dog who can help channel her playful energy, or a family with a thoughtful socialization plan to help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult.

We're not exactly sure how big Maple will be when she's fully grown, but we expect she'll mature into a larger dog-so while she's little now, she has plenty of growing left to do!

Maple will also be having her spay surgery in the coming weeks, and once she's fully vaccinated, she'll be ready for neighborhood walks and bigger adventures. Until then, she'll need access to a private outdoor space for potty breaks, getting comfortable outside, and building a strong house training routine.

If you're looking for a puppy who will keep life exciting and fill your days with laughter, Maple is ready to leaf a lasting impression on your heart!

This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
