Five-year-old Maddi came to us from a shelter in Florida. When she arrived, she was withdrawn and scared of the world. With the help of her loving and patient foster family, she has come out of her shell and is ready for adoption!

Maddi is shy at first, but with time she bonds very strongly with trustworthy humans. She loves to cuddle with her foster parents and lives for chin scratches. Maddi has been known to let out a low growl when she’s feeling stressed or overwhelmed; crating her helps her feel safe during these times. She even goes into her crate unprompted when she needs a minute to collect herself. She needs a patient and experienced owner who will continue to show her that the world can be a safe and kind place. While Maddi hasn’t shown signs of separation anxiety, she loves to be included in what her humans are doing, so someone who’s looking for a sweet shadow would be ideal.


Maddi loves to go for long hikes and run around at the dog park. She gets along with the dogs she meets at the park, but is nervous with resident and visiting dogs in her home. As such, she’s looking to be an only pet at this time.

She’s come a long way in her confidence and is looking for adopters willing to seek professional training to help continue her journey in its positive direction (recommendations for trainers can be provided if needed!)
