Story
Meet Maple Maple’s story begins with quiet bravery. At just about a year or two old herself, this young rez dog was doing everything she could to protect her nine tiny puppies while living on the streets. When she discovered an abandoned dog house on a nearby property, she seized the little bit of shelter it offered. One by one, she carried each puppy into the rugged, makeshift structure , determined to give them whatever safety she could from the cold, windy weather outside . It wasn’t much — but to Maple, it was hope.
When we learned about her situation, we organized a rescue crew and drove out to bring Maple and her babies to safety . She greeted us with a mix of exhaustion and relief, trusting us enough to let us help her family. Now warm, safe, and cared for, Maple is thriving. She’s doing a marvelous job raising her puppies , showing the kind of devotion and gentleness that makes her truly special.
Our best guess on Maple's breed is Belgian Malinois/Shepherd and since she is a rez dog, probably many other breeds. Malinois and Shepherds are a working breeds and do best with an experienced owner.. Here are some of the things to consider. They are highly intelligent..Once they put their mind to it, they can excel at almost anything they do; they will even try outsmarting you sometimes. They need a strong and confident owner who knows how to be a pack leader; otherwise, they will dominate the household.Given their intelligence and eagerness to please their owners, Shepherds and Malinois are relatively easy to train. They can generally learn a new command within 5–15 repetitions. The Belgian Malinois makes an incredible watchdog and they won’t hesitate to alert you when they spot a stranger. Like most dogs, they thrive off routine and consistency and having a job to do. There are many activities you can do to provide appropriate physical and mental stimulation. Regular walks and hikes, nose work, fetch games, and canine sports will provide what they need and are vital to their happiness.
