about maddy

Maddy is a sweet senior girl who came to us when her owner became ill and could no longer provide the care she needed. Having spent her entire life as an outdoor dog since puppyhood, Maddy is now discovering the wonderful world of indoor living, and she's absolutely loving every moment of it. The simple pleasures of air conditioning on a hot day and sinking into a soft, comfortable dog bed have opened up a whole new chapter of comfort for this deserving girl.

What makes Maddy truly special is her enthusiastic approach to life's changes. This sweetheart gets genuinely excited about new experiences, greeting each discovery with the kind of joy that's both heartwarming and infectious. Her eagerness to embrace new things shows just what a resilient and adaptable spirit she has, even in her golden years.

Maddy is looking for a patient, understanding family who will take pleasure in showing her all the wonderful experiences she's been missing. There's something magical about watching a senior dog discover indoor comforts for the first time, and Maddy's new family will have the unique joy of witnessing her continued journey of discovery.

Maddy takes daily medication for osteoarthritis, primarily in her hips, and for hypothyroidism. She’s doing well with her current treatment and remains comfortable and happy. Her hypothyroidism requires regular monitoring through blood work to ensure her medication dosage stays appropriate. Her future family should be prepared to continue her care and routine checkups to keep her feeling her best.  

Since Maddy is still being evaluated with other dogs and has never been exposed to small children, she would thrive best in a home with teenagers or adults who can appreciate her gentle nature and give her the time she needs to adjust. Her ideal family understands that some of life's greatest rewards come to those who are willing to be patient and nurturing, especially with a deserving senior who has so much love left to give.
