Pet Of The Week: Maddie Is The Calmest Dog You'll Ever Meet
Despite some recent hardships, Maddie is the gentler than other dogs and is looking for someone to love her forever.
ARLINGTON, VA — You'll never meet a calmer or more gentle do than Maddie, according to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. This mixed breed female is 6 and has had a couple of hardships recently.
"She was diagnosed with heart worm disease and had to have a severely broken leg amputated, but through it all she has been affectionate and friendly, wagging her tail every time someone looks her way," AWLA said. "It's particularly adorable when she paws you gently for more pets."
Despite her surgery, Maddie is walking fine and is getting stronger every day.
