About Maddy

Maddy leans toward the strong, silent type and finds comfort in quiet moments over noisy commotion. She’s sweet, shy, and incredibly loyal—if given patience and a little time, she’s likely to become a devoted companion. At this stage in her life, Maddy’s seeking a cozy home to enjoy her golden years and soaks up affection whenever she can. Food is the way to her heart; snacks and treats always get her tail wagging and help her bond with people. She knows quite a few tricks already and has a knack for learning more, so someone interested in teaching her new skills would be a good match. Maddy is lively, smart, and needs regular mental and physical engagement to feel her best. Since she’s reserved around new people, places, or being handled, she does best in a calm household and prefers taking introductions at her own speed. Maddy hasn’t always been sure about other dogs—if you have another dog at home, slow introductions and separate spaces matter. She’ll need to meet any canine roommates ahead of time to make sure everyone’s comfortable. Maddy has lived with children before and did well. She has also been diagnosed with dental disease, so future cleanings or procedures may be likely. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
