Maple is a beautiful 6-year-old Weimeraner who needs a special home. As is true of most dogs of this breed, she needs lots of exercise, she will jump fences if given the chance, and she is not crazy about being left home alone.

She would do best in an active home with another dog.

But Maple is very sweet and affectionate, and has lovely manners – she is worth the extra attention she needs.

Maple is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
