Maddy came to us from a family who were backyard breeders. At age 6-1/2 weeks Maddy had tried to climb a fence and broke her leg. The leg wasn't set properly which caused her thigh muscles to contract and not allow her to bend her knee. By 4 months old they weren't having any luck in selling her, so called us. Her leg didn't slow her down one bit, but as she grew we knew it would become more of a problem. After several evaluations it was determined that amputation was going to give Maddy the best outcome. Trying to save the leg would have entailed several surgeries, lots of rehab therapy and a low likelihood that her leg would ever be normal. Within a couple of days of her leg being removed, Maddy didn't even miss it. She runs and play with Sherman and Lulu and nothing stops this little pistol. Joan and Ed nursed her through her recovery and every day she wiggled her way more and more into their hearts. She recently was spayed and ready to be adopted - to Joan and Ed! Maddy and Lulu (formerly Rita's Lulu and first foster failure) play constantly, and Sherman loves it because they then leave him alone.
Maddy is so grateful to GRCGLA Rescue for giving her a new life. And she owes so much of it to her foster parents, and all the time and love they put into getting her well. She can't imagine a better life or a more perfect family.
Welcome home Maddy!
