Story
Maddie is apx 4 years old and weighs 7.5 pounds. A nice couple found her on New Year’s Eve. She must’ve gotten spooked by the fireworks and ran from wherever she was. The couple posted her everywhere to try and find her owners . Maddie had several dog bites on her so she must have been attacked by dogs while on the run. This was all very traumatizing for her. I am very surprised they even caught her because Maddie is extremely skittish. She has tried to nip a few times out of fear. Maddie is wonderful with dogs and cats, absolutely NO children.
Maddie warms up after a few days to her persons and will allow you to pick her up and cuddle her and pet her, she just needs some time to decompress. She did okay at the vets office, but we did have to burrito her in a towel.
Maddie is just extremely scared, once she gets comfortable with her surroundings and her people she is 110% love bug and would like a warm, calm, loving, patient, mature, home to spend her years in. Maddie does not appear to do well with change. A fenced yard would be best unless someone is willing to use pee pads, only until she is comfortable and confident walking on leash and very well fitted harness with her person. She never barks, never makes a sound, uses potty pads, loves bedding and blankets and naps and attention once she is comfortable with you. She is a very demure and shy baby but she will blossom with every kiss, and cuddle and positive praise
