Maple

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female

Maple has sadly came back to Last Chance for rehoming as the previous owners did not feel they could cope or deal with Maple’s needs. Maple is a large girl with a lot of energy and strength behind her. She loves to play with her toys however this can cause her to get overstimulated and starts to become rough with her people instead of her toys. So would need a confident owner who will be able to calm her down when she gets herself in this state of mind. Maple does walk well on the lead but she can be strong especially as she does have a high prey drive and will chase anything that moves including rubbish blowing in the wind so would need a strong owner and someone to further training to help her overcome this or to learn how to ignore all distractions on walk. Maple is a very sweet natured girl who is willing to learn and loves having a cuddle. Maple thinks she is a lap dog and loves sitting on your lap having her ears rubbed. She develops strong bonds with her people but especially to females in the home. Maple is good with other dogs depending on how they react and present themself to her first. Maple does have temper tantrums so will need an owner to help with this. Maple is looking to be the only pet in a home with especially no cats visiting from neighbouring gardens. Maple must go to an adult only home. Maple would benefit from a strong active home who has the time and patience to continue her training. Second photo is Maple with her mate Jackson.

About Maple

What life with Maple looks like

Maple is a large adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Last Chance Animal Rescue in Edenbridge.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Last Chance Animal Rescue 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 — Last Chance Animal Rescue 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Last Chance Animal Rescue 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.
