MAPLE

??Meet Maple—a 10-month-old pup who’s teaching us all what true resilience looks like! This incredible girl was found on the side of the road by a compassionate stranger who refused to leave her behind and brought her to the shelter for help. Yes, Maple is a diamond ?? in the rough right now, but we’re asking you to look beyond what you see today and imagine the beautiful, healthy girl she’s already becoming. When Maple arrived, she was diagnosed with Demodex mange, which had been left untreated for so long that it led to a secondary skin infection. The good news? Demodex is easily treatable and not contagious to other animals or people, and Maple is already on her healing journey! She’s received a medicated bath to comfort her skin, treatment to eliminate the mites, and antibiotics to clear her skin infection. Every day, she’s getting better. And here’s what will absolutely blow you away—despite everything this young pup has endured, Maple’s spirit shines brighter than the sun ??! She walks on a leash with a joyful bounce in her step, greeting every person and every dog she meets like a long-lost friend. Her body may be healing, but her heart? Her heart has always been perfect. ?? Maple isn’t just looking for someone to adopt her—she’s looking for someone brave enough to see her potential, patient enough to watch her transform, and loving enough to give her the second chance she so deeply deserves. Be the hero in Maple’s story. Come meet her at the shelter ( ??430 Bristol Dr., Statesville, NC) and see her personality shine!
