About Maddie

Mama Maddie is the kind of dog who adapts easily to nearly any home setup. She can fit right into a bustling family with children, join a house full of other dogs, or bring quiet companionship to a calm, relaxed household. Maddie is only looking for a place where she's cared for and made part of the family—somewhere she feels secure and included. Now that her days of raising puppies are finished, Maddie is ready for a life where all the nurturing is directed at her. She’s already spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and dewormed, and she’s in the midst of heartworm treatment. Maddie weighs in at about 50–60 lbs and is a Black Mouth Cur mix with a short, golden-red coat. She’s house trained, gets along with kids, other dogs, and even cats—few dogs make it easier to say yes. Her foster network is rooted in Houston, TX, but she’s available to adopters in a range of areas and transport is an option. Ready for a dog who’ll settle in wherever she lands? Your new best friend might just be Maddie. This could be the start of something paw-some.
