MADELINE - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Madeline is a sweet girl who can't wait to be your new BFF! Madeline (aka Maddie) is estimated to be around 2-3 months old, and she is a goofy girl with an irresistibly sweet personality to match her adorable face. She is a bubbly and fun pup who loves making new friends. Maddie loves playtime, treats, and exploring new places. She would love a semi-active family that will take her on lots of adventures. Maddie weighs about 8-10lbs and we estimate that she will be around 40-60lbs when fully grown. Maddie came to us from our local animal shelter with her two sisters, Oreo and Sugar. The girls came into the shelter as strays with their mom and six siblings. An owner came forward and reclaimed their mom after she was spayed, and the remaining puppies went to another local rescue. The Cookie Sisters have been thriving in foster together and are now looking for individual homes where they can get the one-on-one training and socialization they need to be well-rounded adults. Maddie's mom appeared to be a pit bull mix and weighed about 60lbs. We do not know who the dad is. Maddie is the fun-loving leader of the group. She is the biggest of the puppies and is the first to check new things out, and is always front and center for treat time. She is a very curious puppy and enjoys going on walks, being carried in a puppy pack. Once she is fully vaccinated, she will be a great companion for someone who wants a walking/hiking companion. Maddie is a smart girl and needs a family committed to helping her continue to learn all of her basic manners. She would be a great candidate for group puppy training classes. Maddie loves other dogs and could do great with another playful dog or as an only dog in her new home. Maddie could do well living with dog-savvy cats. Maddie could make a wonderful addition to a family with older kids. Maddie is still working on her housetraining, so she will need a family who can be patient while she is learning and be consistent with her training. Maddie does well being left for short periods with her sisters in a pen, but has never been truly alone. She would do best with a family that can slowly acclimate her to being home alone. Maddie happily sleeps through the night in a pen with her sisters. **Due to her breed mix, Maddie may not be allowed at most rental homes or apartments. Please check your landlord/property management for breed restrictions before applying.** Madeline is such a wonderful little girl, and she is going to bring so much fun to her new family.
