Weighing in at only 26 pounds, petite senior Maddie is a sweet, friendly 9-year-old fawn brindle. She is very quiet and curious, but not timid or nervous.
Maddie is adapting well to the new foster life. She’s especially enjoying her new routine of daily walks along the river, napping on the softest blanket on the couch with her foster mom, and enjoying a good dental bone or treats.
She is currently living with another 3-year-old female whippet and is friendly and not disruptive. She likes to be close to her human and will climb up in your lap for a hug and neck drape. She knows “sit”, especially for treats.
On walks, she likes to say hello to other people and is friendly with their dogs. She likes to lead the walk and could use some leash practice. She is potty trained but we do not have a dog door, so she will need to be let out if you don’t have one either.
Maddie is highly motivated by food and loves treats and dental bones. She will also do an exciting spinning dance for you while you prepare her meals.
Maddie may have a negative connection to being locked in a crate. She does well sleeping in her own bed at night in her parent’s bedroom and stays quietly there all night.
