Maddie is a very sweet girl. Maddie spent an unknown amount of time fending for herself on the streets of Detroit before one of our volunteers picked her up. She came to us pregnant but, sadly, she recently gave birth to a litter of stillborn puppies. This poor girl has been through so much. All she wants is a loving family of her own. Could it be with you?
Age / Size Maddie is approximately 2 years old and about 40 lbs. She is much tinier than her pictures make her look. Her breed is also a guess, I would suggest that there is a little hound in her also because when she barks there is a little howl in there.
Personality: Maddie is in a loving foster home with two other dogs and two cats. She adjusted to living in a home with other animals and people in just a few short days and has really adjusted well. She hasn't had any potty accidents and is quiet and content to sleep in her crate or stay in there while her foster parents are at work. However, she is not destructive so a crate may not be necessary. She loves toys and romping in the yard with the other dogs. Maddie is very affectionate. She is unsure of people when first meeting them, but only takes a few minutes to learn that you are ok and then she loves you! I am sure we'll learn more about her as she progresses in her foster home and we'll post more as she gets more and more adjusted.
Forever Home Maddie just needs a loving home where the people will work with her during her adjustment period and make sure she is safe.
Please email her foster mom at waggin_tails@hotmail.com with any questions you may have. To be considered for a dog, it is best to submit a pre-adoption application. The Pre-Adoption Application can be downloaded from our website - http://www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoptionprocess.html. Just complete the application and email it back to sashnmax@yahoo.com.

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $175, $275 for small breed dogs or $200 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check
www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. With few exceptions, we show our adoptable animals on Saturdays from 12pm - 3pm at PetSmart in Northville (on Haggerty Rd between 6 and 7 mile) or PetSmart in Canton (the northwest corner of Ford Rd and Haggerty Rd). Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).
Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
