mals. As she has been given the opportunity to expand her social circle, her true personality has started to shine through — and this girl is fun-loving, confident, playful, and just a little bit bossy! Maddie is still a work in progress, and we want to be honest about what she needs in her furever home. She has bonded very strongly with her foster and is, for the most part, an absolute gem with her. However, Maddie experiences significant stranger danger and can be uncomfortable with new people. She can also be reactive when meeting unfamiliar dogs. The wonderful thing about Maddie is that once she trusts you, she truly lets her personality shine. She has bonded closely with her foster fur-siblings and has developed an especially sweet relationship with her little foster fur brother, who she has proudly appointed as her emotional support sidekick. Maddie is currently working with a trainer to help her learn to better manage her emotions and navigate new people and situations. Her forever family will need to be patient, understanding, and committed to continuing that work. To help set everyone up for success, Maddie comes with sponsored training to support her transition into her new home. And while Maddie may need some extra time and patience, she is absolutely worth it. Once you earn Maddie's trust, you get to experience the very best of her. Her big smile, sweet kisses, playful nature, intense burrowing cuddles, and those adorable sighs of contentment will make you feel like the most special person in the world. Maddie loves deeply and has so much love to give to the people she considers her own. We are currently recommending a home without children and, if there are other dogs, they should be friendly, patient, well-rounded dogs who can give Maddie the space and time she needs to feel comfortable. Maddie isn't looking for someone who expects perfection. She's looking for someone willing to see her potential, respect her boundaries, continue her training, and give her the time she needs to become her best self. For the right person, Maddie will be so much more than a #Girlboss — she'll be your loyal, loving, hilarious, cuddly best friend. ❤️ ► We do not adopt to Canada due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
