PETUNIA
(formerly MADDIE)

8/30/07: This sweet little girl just wants someone to love her. Maddie was picked up as a stray in Alabama. She looks like she's just had puppies recently. Even though she hasn't been treated very well, she has a wonderful temperament. She ignores other dogs and cats and she loves people. She's just a sweetheart.

Maddie is a black horsecoat female, approximately 3 years old. She's a tiny little thing, only 35 lbs. She has heartworm disease and will begin treatment on September 14, so she won't be ready for adoption for at least 8 weeks. She also needs to be spayed and have entropion surgery.

Maddie's coat doesn't look too good, probably because of bad food. She's on a good diet now and we expect her coat to improve quickly.

UPDATE 10/9/07: Maddie is 3 1/2 weeks into her heartworm treatment and is doing great. She is such a good little girl - doesn't bark, she's good in the crate, she stays behind a pet gate if she needs to. She's the perfect little girl.

Can you see Maddie becoming part of your family?

11/10/07: Little Maddie is in her new home in Kingston TN. Her new mom is Lynn and she has three 4-legged playmates. We know Maddie is going to be spoiled rotten, which is as it should be!

11/15/07: Just learned last night that Maddie has a new name. It's Petunia. Cute, huh?

2/7/08: Petunia had pictures made today at a professional photographer. Isn't she beautiful!
