Maddy's Story

Meet Maddie. She is just over a year old and weighs about 53 pounds. Maddie has had a difficult start in life and is looking for someone who will give her the time, patience, and gentle reassurance she deserves. Once she feels safe, you will see her sweet personality come out.<br/><br/>Maddie is timid and tends to be nervous around new things and around men. Her fear looks like shivering and hiding. She has never once shown aggression. Truly, she does not have an aggressive bone in her body. She bonded quickly with her foster mom but is still learning to be comfortable with her foster dad, even after several weeks. This just tells us that her new home will need to understand slow introductions and quiet support.<br/><br/>Maddie loves being outdoors. A fully fenced yard is important so she can relax and enjoy her space. She really opens up when she is outside. She gets the zoomies, has a goofy playfulness, and loves to play chase. Fetch is still a mystery to her, but she may enjoy it once she learns the game.<br/><br/>She would do best in a home with another dog who is confident and kind. Maddie truly misses having a dog companion and looks to other dogs for guidance and comfort. She is also wonderful with cats. The cats in her foster home typically avoid dogs, but they were comfortable with Maddie within days because she is so gentle. She has even met horses and was simply curious.<br/><br/>Maddies leash manners are as close to perfect as it gets. She walks right beside you and never pulls. She ignores other dogs and distractions while on leash. She would be easy for someone with mobility challenges or even a child to walk.<br/><br/>Maddie is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night. She is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and recently completed training through the PAWS Orofino program. She learned a lot there and it gave her a strong foundation to continue building confidence.<br/><br/>Maddie is sweet, observant, and truly wants to love and be loved. She is going to be a devoted companion for someone who understands that healing takes time. If you have a calm home, another friendly dog, and a heart full of patience, Maddie may be your perfect match.

Idaho Animal Rescue Network's Adoption Policy
Upon completing an application for adoption, potential adopters are contacted via email or phone to discuss the needs (present and future) of the animal they hope to adopt. Approved adopters are then invited to meet with the animal one-on-one to get a better idea of their personality. In some instances, we offer them a couple of meet and greets. Because some of our animals come from abuse/neglect situations, we do not ever rush adoptions and appreciate the adopters who understand this process. A home visit is required and if renting, a potential adopter must provide landlord information so approval can be verified by our staff. * We do NOT adhere to a first-come adoption basis. We seek the best fit for the animals in our care.
