Maple

Golden Retriever · Female · Young · 3 years

Maple is looking for a new home in a fairly quiet town where she can have company most of the time. She would love a garden and a home where there are no young children or other dogs due to her epilepsy; Maple can have cluster seizures. Her new home must have experience of a dog with epilepsy. This condition would be covered in her new home for the rest of her life, under our Vet Fund.* Maple is very loving and sociable with people. She loves to be petted and stroked and will lie down and allow herself to be petted. Maple is good with other dogs, she likes to lie down and sniff. Maple is used to living with cats, she currently lives with 3 cats with no issues. Maple can be left at home for a few hours. She is well behaved at the vets and travels well. Maple does pull on the lead at first when she’s excited. She is still young and would enjoy further training or learning new tricks. Her recall is already fairly good, although this would need worked on in a new environment. Maple is happy to be washed and brushed. She has been at the groomers before and was well behaved. She has also stayed at boarding kennels and was fine. She is scared of balloons. *FOOD AND VETERINARY TREATMENT FUND: This fund allows Dog Aid Scotland to cover costs of pre-existing conditions once a dog has been rehomed. This means we will cover costs for vet treatment if the dog has a condition before it comes to stay with you. In this case we will covers costs relating to Maple’s epilepsy within reason. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland. Need a website?

About Maple

What life with Maple looks like

Maple is a young adult golden retriever dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maple, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maple?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dog Aid Society of Scotland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maple on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maple if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Aid Society of Scotland will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maple already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maple isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dog Aid Society of Scotland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maple and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
