Maple

Mixed Breed · Female

Ready for rehoming – meet Maple ❤️ Maple is a young dapple dachshund with the sweetest nature. She absolutely adores attention, loves being around people and, once she feels safe, her affectionate little personality really begins to shine. She can initially be shy and nervous in new situations, but with patience and reassurance she soon comes round and is learning more every single day about normal life as we know it. Watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding. Maple is looking for a calm, understanding home with another friendly dog to help guide and reassure her. We would ideally prefer applicants with dachshund experience who understand the breed and the extra care and patience nervous dogs can need. A very secure back garden is an absolute must for Maple while she continues to build confidence in the world around her. She is a lovely little girl with so much love to give and deserves a family willing to let her settle at her own pace and blossom into the happy little dog we know she can be ❤️

About Maple

What life with Maple looks like

Maple is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

An 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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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.
