Retriever and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Maddie is a 3- year old, 56 lb female Retriever/Shepherd mix breed.

Maddie is currently located in South Texas and is available for local adoption.

Maddie was a young mom in distress when she was rescued, but this tough pup survived emergency surgery that saved her and her pups, and was a great mommy. All of her pups found their own homes, and Maddie is more than ready to go out on her own as well. Her foster mom says she is sweet and affectionate, and enjoys a little pampering. She likes some gentle belly rubs, having her blonde coat brushed and getting some ear rubs too. Maddie arrived practically house trained and absolutely loves going out on walks. She would probably be thrilled to go on a hike, especially in a cooler climate. She doesn't live with kids but has met up with older children on her frequent outings and done very well with them. Maddie reluctantly shares her foster home with the resident dogs, but she does not want to share her forever home with other dogs and would need to be the only dog at home. At home, Maddie is very much a couch potato and would love to just nap a good part of the day away, so she would be fine with an adopter who is away during the day. Maddie dreams of a loving home of her very own, so let us know if this sweet girl is the solo companion you've searched for.
