Maddy's Story

MADDY IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!<br/><br/>Maddy is a wonderful little Shih-Tzu/Terrier mix who is about 5 years old. A friendlier, more loving pup would be hard to find. She loves little soft toys to chew and chase when she is not following you around the house or garden. She very much wants to be with her people and hasn't met a person she doesn't like. The foster parents had house guests and she spent time snuggling with everyone to make sure all got a dose of her love.<br/><br/>She eats well, likes treats, and walks nicely on a leash. She does start after squirrels or bunnies, but responds to, "No," and settles quickly.<br/><br/>Maddy had a rough start. She came to the shelter as part of an animal cruelty case and when she arrived she had a large hernia that required surgery. She is now healed and feeling great. She has had a few accidents in the house, but with a consistent schedule and feeding times, that has settled. <br/><br/>She is also almost unusually quiet for a small dog and only barks a bit when someone new comes to the door. She loves her crate and sometimes goes in on her own during the day. Because she was restricted from stairs after her surgery, she slept quietly downstairs in her crate in the foster home, but we suspect she would love to snuggle closer if you want her near at night. She is a special little girl who just wants people to be with and to love.

Homes Fur Hounds, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Once you have identified the dog(s) you are interested in meeting, you must submit an Adoption Application. You can find the application at https://www.homesfurhounds.org 2. Be patient. We occasionally have a high volume of applications, especially on puppies. 3. If your application is approved you will be contacted to arrange a meet and greet with the dog(s) you are interested in meeting. Whenever we have more than one applicant who is approved, we set up the meet and greet in the order in which the applications were received. 4. We are a small rescue group and do require home checks. Therefore, we only adopt to VA, NC and MD. Exceptions are made for medically needy or seniors if no qualified applicant is located in our adoption area. 5. We do keep applications on file for 6 months, so even if you aren’t selected for a particular dog, if you see another dog of interest, let us know and we will consider your application at that time. 6. Please don’t be offended if you are not selected to adopt. We try to match the dog with the BEST home for them. Just because you weren’t selected for a specific dog does not mean you can’t apply for another one. 7. Our adoption fee is $300.00.
