Meet our marvellous Maple! This stunning girl was brought to us by the warden having been found as a stray, very underweight and all alone. Because of this we have very limited history on her - though we have no idea why anyone would abandon this lovely girl! You may not be able to tell from her photos but Maple is a teeny girl - we think she’s a whippet cross! Lots of people say in her photos she looks like a Mali cross, honestly we don’t know if this is the case but in person she looks much less like one (she certainly doesn’t have their breed traits - Maple may be a better teddy than guard dog!). .

Despite a hard start and coming to us very underweight, Maple is so full of life. She’s always ready for a walk or play and would adore an active home (though she would also love a snuggle on your sofa). Being a stray we don’t have a full history on her but she’s now been with us for a couple of months and she’s changed so much in this time! She’s gotten so much better on lead and has made friends with all of the other dogs in kennels (especially Bruce & Alan who she loves to go to the pub with for a doggy roast on weekends!).

She’d fit perfectly into an active family, though we think she would be too much for young children so only teens up. Being a sight-hound cross she has a prey drive so also needs a cat free home (all the more attention for her!).

Maple would make a really great companion for another dog (she seems to especially love male dogs though this may be because most of our current kennel dogs are boys!) but this would depend on the individuals getting along.

Maple is ideally looking for a lurcher experienced home where she has the space and time she needs, but she’d fit well into any active home. She’s soo smart and loves praise so we know with time and patience she’ll become a super star- we can’t believe no one’s given her the chance yet.

If you think you’d be a fit for this lovely lass please fill in an adoption form and we’ll get back to you with more info.
