Maddie Shih Tzu Decorah, IA

Maddie is ready to find her forever home!
She is a sweet 10 lb, 5 year old Shih Tzu, soon to be 6. She is doing great with potty training. She's not a fan of the cold, so sometimes wants to come in before she is "done". She has started to play a little bit with toys. She is fine around dogs, but does like her personal space and could get snarky with an invasive dog. She is perfectly ok finding a soft place to hang out during the day, but would also be good with snuggling. Small kids would likely be too overwhelming for her comfort level, so we are looking for a home with older respectful children, or no children. A fenced in yard would be a definite plus for her, but not a requirement. She must ALWAYS be on a leash when not in a fence area.
Maddie was recently released from a puppy mill, so her adopter needs to be patient, positive and understanding as she grows to understand her new life. She is so sweet and continues to progress and do new things each week. She will require regular grooming.
