999 days in kennels as of 17th January 2026!!! PLEASE SHARE FOR MADDY!!!
Maddy has recently really started to struggle in kennels and is not herself – she is spending a lot more time in her bed and doesn’t have the “Maddy” zest for life we’re used to seeing. She is almost depressed in nature and maybe after almost 1000 days in kennels, that life is getting to her. For anyone that has personally met Maddy, she is super happy, 100% excitement all of the time, has energy for days…. It’s so sad to see her like this and we need to find her a home. She’s only 4.5 years old.
Maddy is a fantastic girl. Super smart, motivated and enthusiastic to learn. She is food motivated and loves training. Teaching her tricks will be a great way to bond. She has fantastic potential in the right home. We think she would make a good hoopers or agility dog to harness her brains and energy.
Maddy is a loving girl towards her people. She does do better with 1:1 attention but can happily find her own fun and take a toy or chew into her bed. She loves to play but also enjoys mental enrichment with lickimats/kongs, sniffing and puzzle games. She is a smart cookie.
Maddy does get on with other dogs but can be boisterous. She is best suited to be an only dog in the home but with doggy friends to keep her socialised.
Maddy can be strong on the lead so will need some continued work in this area. She would make a great canicross dog and can run for miles!
She has a lot of pent up energy and can get overstimulated in busy environments. A calmer home that can help her relax after a good run and some mental stimulation would be perfect for Maddy.
Maddy will thrive in a less complicated, one or two person adult only home. She will need adopters with experience of working with a rescue dog. She needs a secure garden with 6ft fencing. This beautiful girl has so much potential in the right home and we are hoping she won’t have to wait much longer for her happily ever after.
Maddy has waited so long to be seen….. we really need your help to share her.
Located in South Wales. Adoption fee: £250.

Sponsor maddy

Most of our dogs are in paid kennels while they wait — a real cost, every single day. Monthly sponsorship from as little as £5/month helps cover those costs and means a dog has someone rooting for them. You’ll receive updates and photos for as long as they are with us.
