Maddy - Shih Tzu and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Williamsburg, Virginia

MADDY IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Maddy is a wonderful little Shih-Tzu/Terrier mix who is about 5 years old. A friendlier, more loving pup would be hard to find. She loves little soft toys to chew and chase when she is not following you around the house or garden. She very much wants to be with her people and hasn't met a person she doesn't like. The foster parents had house guests and she spent time snuggling with everyone to make sure all got a dose of her love.

She eats well, likes treats, and walks nicely on a leash. She does start after squirrels or bunnies, but responds to, "No," and settles quickly.

Maddy had a rough start. She came to the shelter as part of an animal cruelty case and when she arrived she had a large hernia that required surgery. She is now healed and feeling great. She has had a few accidents in the house, but with a consistent schedule and feeding times, that has settled.

She is also almost unusually quiet for a small dog and only barks a bit when someone new comes to the door. She loves her crate and sometimes goes in on her own during the day. Because she was restricted from stairs after her surgery, she slept quietly downstairs in her crate in the foster home, but we suspect she would love to snuggle closer if you want her near at night. She is a special little girl who just wants people to be with and to love.
