My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Current Location: Henrico, VA foster home

Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Thanks to a generous supporter, this pet's adoption fee is fully covered. OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer in the first 60 days to help you start off strong together!

💞 Meet Maddie: Your New Goofy, Lovable Shadow 💞

If you’ve been searching for a dog who can turn an ordinary day into a fun-filled adventure, Maddie is your girl. She's a professional snuggle expert with a heart of gold, a head full of silliness, and an endless supply of love for anyone lucky enough to meet her.

🏡 House & Crate Trained Superstar
Maddie has impeccable manners at home and is a responsible young lady who knows where to potty and how to relax in her crate like the composed queen she is… unless she sees a squirrel. Then all bets are off.

🐾 Social Butterfly
She’s currently living with four dogs and gets along with everyone like she’s the cruise director. People? She lives for them. She’d happily follow you from room to room as your emotional support shadow.

🎾 Goofy Play Buddy + Snuggle Champion
Maddie loves walks & hiking, playtime, and doing whatever goofy thing pops into her head… and then she’ll curl up right next to you (or on you, if allowed) for maximum snuggle impact. She's the ideal companion for anyone looking for a playful best friend who also doubles as a living, breathing weighted blanket 🐶.

💋 Hugs & Kisses Professional
She gives big warm hugs, gentle kisses, and loves to lean into you like she’s trying to fuse your souls together.

🚫 Enemies List:
• Squirrels
• Cats
(We don’t talk about it. She’s working on herself.)

🌳 Maddie’s Dream Home
A fenced-in yard is a must — not only so she can stretch those long Shepherd legs, but also because her ongoing feud with squirrels is intense and requires secure borders. She's also an enthusiastic explorer and needs a yard enclosed by a fence at least 6 feet tall to keep her adventures safe and contained.

Maddie would love a quiet and peaceful home where she can feel safe and loved 💕.

♥️ Why You’ll Love Her
Maddie is sweet, playful, loyal, and just the right amount of ridiculous. She’s the perfect mix of fun and affection, and she can’t wait to become someone’s best friend, walking buddy, and designated couch snuggler.

Ready to meet Maddie?
She’s ready to meet you — and possibly steal your heart (and your spot on the couch)!

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
