Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I found Maple on the shelter’s timestamped list. She only had a few more days to live. When I began to play with her, I realized she was a remarkably sweet dog, and she nuzzled up against me the very first day. She forms bonds quickly, and loves to play with her family.
However, the apartment I brought her into is too small for her, and she is reactive to other dogs. Every walk I worry that we will see them in the elevator, and she will begin to bark. I genuinely love this dog, but I do not think I am equipped to deal with her reactivity, especially as s current law student. Anyone who decides to adopt her will be bringing a loving and affectionate dog into their home. She would love a yard, and I sincerely hope she can find a place where she can be the happy dog she is meant to be.

Will come with a crate, toys, doggy bags, a harness, and a leash.
