This is Maple. She is a beautiful (around) 4 month old puppy! She’s curious, fun, and super silly. She loves belly rubs, peanut butter, and tug-o-war. My wife and I rescued her and her sister from a shelter over 2 weeks ago but soon realized that with both of us working full time, we can’t manage both the way they deserve. We already love them and can’t choose between them, so we decided to put both of them up for rehoming and let others decide for us. She will need some training but is already learning quickly.
