Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Addie is a big, gentle soul who dreams of being your lap dog, even if she knows she’s a little too large for the part. Sweet and submissive with other dogs, she quickly found her place among her foster sisters. Addie’s story began when she was sadly abandoned on a stormy Easter and waited all day on her foster’s patio for someone to return. It was clear that she had been used for breeding and then discarded once no longer needed. Understandably, Addie was frightened and hesitant to come inside for several days, likely having never been in a home before. She was covered in filth, but soon learned the joys of toys, treats, and a good game of fetch. After a dramatic introduction to a swimming pool—which revealed just how much dirt she’d carried from her previous life—Addie’s transformation started. With patience and kindness from her foster, she began to trust again. Addie now loves to run in the yard, roll in the grass, and respects even the tiniest member of her foster pack. She shows no signs of food aggression, but introductions to new dogs should be managed with the usual care. While there’s a cat in the home she ignores, they haven’t interacted directly. Addie barks at new sounds but is quick to quiet down when asked, and she’ll shower you with kisses if you ask for them. She’s been calm and cooperative for nail trims and seems comfortable in a kennel. Addie uses the doggy door, is fully house trained, and does well on a leash, though she’s still getting used to long walks. Her only request? A home ready to spoil her and help her leave the past behind, so she can enjoy the happy life she so deserves. Fun fact: Addie is an Aries! Aries dogs are known for their bravery, enthusiasm, and playful spirit—qualities Addie absolutely embodies. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
