Maddie *Adoption Pending*'s Story

Current Location: Henrico, VA foster home<br/><br/>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! <br/><br/> Meet Maddie: Your New Goofy, Lovable Shadow <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/> House & Crate Trained Superstar<br/>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.<br/><br/> Social Butterfly<br/>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.<br/><br/> Goofy Play Buddy + Snuggle Champion <br/>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 . <br/><br/> Hugs & Kisses Professional<br/>She gives big warm hugs, gentle kisses, and loves to lean into you like she's trying to fuse your souls together. <br/><br/> Enemies List:<br/> Squirrels <br/> Cats <br/>(We don't talk about it. She's working on herself.)<br/><br/> Maddie's Dream Home<br/>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. <br/><br/>Maddie would love a quiet and peaceful home where she can feel safe and loved . <br/><br/> Why You'll Love Her <br/>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. <br/><br/>Ready to meet Maddie?<br/>She's ready to meet you - and possibly steal your heart (and your spot on the couch)!<br/><br/>Click through the pictures up top to see videos of Maddie playing in her foster home or go to Maddie's foster family's YouTube page! https://www.youtube.com/@OPHfosters8877

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy
Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
