Maddie

Maddie is a sweet and gentle soul who is just beginning to explore her social side. She recently had a positive introduction to other dogs at the shelter, showing a calm demeanor even if she wasn't quite ready to join in the play. We're hopeful that with more positive experiences in our playgroups, her playful and silly personality will soon shine through. She's looking for a patient adopter who can help her build confidence and discover the joys of companionship.

As a Border Collie, Maddie likely possesses a keen intelligence, high trainability, and an innate desire to have a job to do. This breed is known for its boundless energy and requires significant mental and physical stimulation to thrive. While she's currently reserved, her breed traits suggest she'll be a loyal and devoted companion once she forms a bond. Border Collies are generally good with children and other pets when properly socialized, making her a potential fit for various family dynamics.

Maddie's ideal home will be an active one, ready to provide her with plenty of exercise and engaging activities. A secure yard for play and regular opportunities for walks, runs, or dog sports would be highly beneficial. She would flourish with an owner who understands the needs of her breed and is committed to continued training and socialization. If you're looking for a bright, loving companion to share adventures with, consider bringing your current dog for a meet and greet to see if Maddie is the perfect match!
