Hi everyone, meet Maple.
 
Maple is a 2 ½ year old English Setter from Arkansas. She is sweet and loving despite the lack of love that she has been shown previously. On April 30th 2022, my boyfriend and myself set out on a six hour drive from Kansas to Arkansas to meet our new pup. As we met up with the seller, it became very clear to us that we were in fact rescuing her and NOT meeting up to grab a dog that was being “rehomed” according to the listing. Maple recently had a liter and had not ever been provided with any of her yearly vaccines and preventative shots. She was skin and bones, weighing approximately 35lbs as opposed to the average healthy weight of 50-60lbs. Maple was covered in dirt, had patches of raw skin, and had multiple breeds of ticks all over her body, she very clearly had not been taken care of in any sense. We got Maple to the vet days later to find out that she has adult/baby male and female heartworms, intestinal worms, various diseases from ticks, and is severely underweight. The treatment is a year-long process that involves a large variety of medication, monitoring, exercise restriction, and monthly vet visits. Unfortunately, the prices add up very quickly and it is a difficult position to be in with the funds we currently have. However, we are determined to give Maple the life that she deserves and we will do anything and everything in our power to fill her with a new sense of love and care while we get her healthy and feeling like a puppy again.
