MAPLE is a darling little 20lb border collie mix and just shy of one year old.

First and foremost, MAPLE aspires to be a lap dog and lucky for her (or you) she is small enough to be just that! She loves nothing more than cuddling up on a blanket next to somebody, but if that is not an option her next place of choice would be somewhere simply comfortable and warm.
