Maddie ~ Border Terrier (20/6/15 on trial)

Hello, I’m Maddie. I am a 10 year old Border Terrier. I’m female and have been desexed. I love my foster parents and am so very good. I am toilet trained and love my food.

I have completed treatment for arthritis ... well I am 10 years old – but that is my only health problem. I have completed my injections for arthritis and won’t need any more until winter 2016.

I am sooo cute and loving; I’m quiet except when someone comes to the door and then I make sure my foster parents know someone is there and the visitor knows that they have been announced. Isn’t that what I am supposed to do?

Whoever is lucky enough to adopt me must have a VERY SECURE yard.

I love to go outside and explore the yard; however, I have a very unfortunate habit and that is I LOVE to escape. I don’t go walkabout for long and I always come home, but I am told that is very naughty because I could get run over or cause an accident and that would not be a very good thing for me or anyone else involved so the nice person or people who adopt me must make sure I cannot get out on the road.

That is very important. My foster mum is teaching me to walk on a lead; I’m not good at it but with kind perseverance I will get the idea. I LOVE TREATS and will be very obedient for them.

So, if you want a dear little dog to love and cuddle; a little dog who puts her paw up to you, who puts her head on your chest and nuzzles into you and best of all ‘talks’ – I say ‘hello’ – well I promise I won’t disappoint you. My foster parents will be very sad to see me go, but they want me to have a special home all of my own. I would suit an older, retired couple or single person, who wants a dear little dog to love and keep them company; I would love to have my new parents to be at home a lot of the time and I love watching TV. I also love sharing your bed ... I am very thoughtful though, because I stay on the end of the bed. Sometimes I am happy to sleep under the bed too. I am a dear little dog who wants to share my life with someone who wants to love me.

If you think I could suit you I am patiently waiting to hear from you. You can contact my foster mum, Donna on 0428 584 410 or by email donnawatson@dodo.com.au. We are in Medowie.

Maddie's adoption fee is $100 and she is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
