Mention “home for the holidays” to your adoption coordinator to receive $50 off of your adoption through Jan 31, 2026. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/pages/adopt <br/> <br/>This is Maddie and she is a love magnet! Whatever charming magic she is bringing worked on me and I know you’ll understand! Watch her video here and see for yourself- https://youtu.be/Fh1ymA3Ad3k<br/><br/>Estimated to be around 3 years old and weighing 51 lbs, we suspect Maddie is a pittie/hound mix, our best guess given she is a rescue. She doesn’t leave us guessing on her heart though, this girl is a walking love letter- gentle, affectionate, and thrilled to make new human friends. She opens up easily and is quick to offer a few sweet, sloppy kisses to anyone kind enough to offer her a few pets.<br/><br/>On walks, Maddie does need a little leash polishing-she gets excited and may pull,but it isn't long before she checks in and finds her rhythm. Once she does, she melts into the moment and is a great walking buddy. More practice and you by her side is all she needs! <br/><br/>Maddie isn’t a high-energy dog and is more likely to be found wandering around the yard rather than in a wild play session. She is dog-friendly and greets new dogs politely, often with sweet face licks, and then happily strolls alongside them. A medium- or low-energy dog friend would be her ideal match. She doesn’t need a rowdy playmate, she will enjoy a calm buddy to spend time with.<br/><br/>Maddie also did great meeting our house cat! She was curious but polite- she didn’t chase and was able to walk away on her own after a sniff. She may need some guidance learning how to live with a feline full-time, but her gentle approach tells us she has the potential to share space with a respectful cat.<br/><br/>Indoors, Maddie is calm and relaxed. She settles quickly, laying at your feet getting up to greet a guest or to follow the flow of affection. She thrives on connection and is happiest when she’s close to her people. She may whine a bit in the kennel at first, but a quick bit of reassurance and comfort is typically all she needs to settle in.<br/><br/>We see Maddie doing well in a home with a yard or in a quiet apartment complex. She's not super high energy but would love daily walks, social-time and regular cuddle sessions. Maddie does occasional sneak a gentle jump in to offer her signature gentle kisses, because of this, we would say a home with older kids would be best but she is a smart girl who responds well to correction and praise so this can easily be changed.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a gentle soul to be your shadow, a cat-tolerant sweetheart, or a laid-back companion for your current pup, Maddie is ready to roll over, show you her belly, and call your place home. <br/><br/>Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
