Maddie Was Adopted!

The chocolate lab I was sponsoring through the Lab Rescue of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac was adopted! I didn't think she would be because she is older and had gray in her beard. Yay!

Here she is:

Maddie (#7338)

9 year old spayed chocolate female. Good with other dogs, children 10 and over, is afraid of cats. Maddie is up-to-date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She doesn't bark or jump up on people and she has excellent household manners. She is very friendly and likes to hang around with her people. She enjoys her walks, but spends much of her time lying at your feet. Maddie has no history of aggression, growling, biting, or resource guarding. She is housetrained. She is not cratetrained but doesn't need it and has run of the house when no one is home. She rides well while in the car and knows her basic commands (sit, down, stay and come). She will retrieve, but is not at all obsessive about it and doesn't fetch as much as she did in her younger days. Maddie walks great on lead, staying right with you, and knows how to heel. She has had formal obedience training and has a very gentle mouth when given treats. Maddie is good with dogs and lived with another Lab.

Maddie has been adopted!

Just is case you're ever looking for a Lab, the rescue is a great place to find one. Unlike rescues for other breeds - like Shih Tzus, for example - most of the dogs in the Lab rescue aren't there because they are sick or disabled. People just get cute little Lab puppies and then they aren't prepared when the dog grows up into a big bouncy teenager, so there are tons of 1-2 year old dogs who get stuck in the rescue because they are normal healthy labby boys and girls.
