Maddie #2

Adopted

Maddie is a beautiful, petite girl that was rescued from a shelter where she was brought in as a stray. The day after arriving at the shelter, Maddie had a litter of puppies and the entire family was rescued by VGSR. Unfortunately, the puppies did not survive, however Maddie has been examined by the vet and declared to be in good health. She also seems to be in good spirits (thankfully), and is such a good girl. She loves to be petted and will snuggle right up to you, and if you sit down, you may just find yourself with a 47 pound lap dog! Speaking of pounds, she does need to put on a few after having the puppies just 2 weeks ago. With a few more good meals (she likes a bit of canned food mixed in with her dry), we think she'll begin to fill out and will complete the transformation from beautiful to GORGEOUS! Her pictures do not do her justice - she is much prettier in person! She walks very well on a leash with just a little bit of exploratory pulling on occasion, but for the most part will stay right with you, even sitting when you stop walking. Her favorite things seem to be being petted/cuddled, going for walks and playing with her toys. She also rides very well in the car, and so far has not had a house-training accident yet. She really is a wonderful little girl and is very attentive to her foster family, especially her foster mom. She likes to go for walks with our 8-year-old daughter and play with toys with her, but she does enjoy just calm, family time. Maddie will be spayed the first week of July, and will then begin being introduced to other dogs, cats etc. She will be attending adoption events in Gainesville. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meeting, please email her foster family at savingshepherds@yahoo.com. She would be a wonderful addition to a caring family.
