Little Maddie is a senior bully-breed mix, thought to be around 10-12 years old, with a black and white coat and the classic wide smile of a pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire blend. She's about 43 pounds, with a gentle soul shaped by resilience and time. Over seven years, she's shifted from a tough start to a dog who genuinely welcomes everyone—dogs, cats, people, and especially children. Maddie has grown into the heart of her foster pack, sharing her days side by side with everyone and no longer knowing isolation. She trusts humans now, loves with her whole self, and wants a simple, stable life to finish out her golden years. Maddie is house trained and crate trained, with strong leash manners and excellent recall. Volunteers describe her as playful, loyal, social, and affectionate—at her core, she's just looking for a place where she truly belongs. She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. Maddie is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and up to date on all care. If you're looking for a loving companion who's endured a lot but still gives joyfully, she's waiting in Fort Wayne, IN.
