Maddie

Puggle · Female · Senior · 10 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Maddie has been left home alone previously for a few hours and does settle. She will need her home alone building up slowly, once she has settled into her new home. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Maddie has ongoing medical conditions, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? Yes, conditionally - Securely housed small pets that are inaccessible to her Additional information Maddie is a polite girl around other dogs but she’s an independent woman, having a quick sniff before continuing on her way. She can have some walking buddies who like her, are looking for a gentle stroll rather than a playmate. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Maddie is looking for an adult only home with no young visiting children. She does have some sensitivities around handling and gets overstimulated easily, so will need a patient home with people who are prepared to continue with her training at her pace. Once Maddie has settled in she adores her people and is very loving, but she still has an independent side. What type of environment would suit me? Maddie will need a secure, private garden in her new home that has an area of grass. She is a particular girl who will only go to the toilet on grass and she absolutely loves being in the garden. Some of her training is also much easier to do outside than inside the home. About Maddie Maddie is an affectionate soul who’s happiest when she’s close to her people. She loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa for snoozes, listening to your voice, and taking leisurely strolls in the fresh air. This lady is wonderfully social, she greets everyone with a wag and has been polite with other dogs on a walk. Maddie would suit a calm, loving home where she can enjoy companionship and a steady routine. She has found the recent changes in her life quite stressful and is looking for an understanding, patient adult only home where she can learn to feel settled again.

About Maddie

What life with Maddie looks like

Maddie is a small senior puggle dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maddie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maddie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maddie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maddie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maddie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maddie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maddie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
