Meet Lil Maddie. Maddie is believed to be around 10-12 years old, a bully-breed pit bull terrier mix, weighing about 43 pounds. Despite her tough start, she has a loving and joyful disposition. Over the past 7 years, she has successfully relearned life and is now social, and welcoming to everyone. Maddie loves life. She is happy and part of a pack. She shares her everyday life amongst us all together and never again separated or isolated. Maddie is waiting for her forever home where she can experience the love and happiness she deserves. She has learned to trust, live, love, and enjoy life. Maddie was born and raised to fail, but she has overcome all the odds, successfully recovered, and is patiently waiting for someone to love her forevermore. Maddie is well-mannered, socially curious, and welcoming to all. Maddie has been waiting for her forever home where she can experience the best life as a beloved pet. A chance to belong. 7 years later, and she's still waiting. Here is a glimpse of her story, but first, please enjoy what 1 of the many volunteers has to share about Maddie during a pup date visit. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/7pmM3TS38CMmvkHN/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/6YXv1QqTSo3g1fEa/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/msFvqbABdwDvSKNP/ Maddie is still with me. More often than not, I find myself crying. I feel like her time for a chance at a real loving home is less each time, and nothing I do or say will convince anyone how perfectly amazing she is. I feel like I'm stuck in fail mode. Failing Curtis every day she continues to wait. Like so many waiting for a chance at a happy forever. Maddie is house and crate-trained. She walks well on a leash, and her recall is excellent.
