Meet Maddie, a sweet 3-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who loves to snuggle and make doggie friends. Initially shy and unsure due to under-socialization, she's bravely making progress in her foster home. Maddie is very affectionate, food-motivated, and enjoys walks. She thrives with patient people who understand her need for a calm environment. An ideal home would be one with older or no children, willing to continue her house-training, and eager to share their bed for cozy nights.
