About Me
*Maddie has been adopted!*
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Maddie, and I’m a sweet senior basset about 14 years old. I was loving life, but significant changes in my owners’ lives made it hard for them to give me the attention I deserve.
Now the folks at CBHR have taken me in, and I am learning new things and realizing that humans are the absolute best. As a lady of a certain age who has earned some respect, I insist on sitting on comfy sofas, chairs and beds that are off the floor – no standard doggie bed for this girl!
Don’t try calling my name – I’m deaf, so you will need to find other ways to get my attention. I am learning and respond well to hand commands, though. I’m a smart hound! The vet says I am otherwise in excellent health, and my fosters note that I am calm and easygoing.
I enjoy feeling the sun on my back, as well as head and neck scratches. I love my daily walks and like to amble so I can take in all the exciting smells. I am a little hesitant at meeting other people, but I’m working on that. My fosters think a companion dog would be good company for me.
I am housebroken, although I need to go out early in the morning because I might have an accident. I can navigate stairs very well – especially for a senior girl. My foster mom says I’m a champion napper.
I still have some medical details to attend to – I have a tooth that needs removing, but as I mentioned, I am otherwise in great shape. I love treats but take them very gently, and I don’t show any signs of food aggression. I’m not crated because I am very well-behaved and besides, I don’t sleep at floor level.
I know I’m not a sweet young thing, but I am a sweet old girl who wants to be loved and will love you in return. If you’re looking for a calm lady who can keep you company, contact CBHR and ask for Maddie! Until we meet, I remain Maggie, just a polite Southern gal with a big heart.
