These “fixer puppers” are looking for the right DIY adopters to help them be the best dogs they can be. They need a little extra attention, but they’ll repay you with wagging tails, happy kisses, and unconditional love. Our fixer puppers may have experienced difficulty managing the stressful adjustment to the shelter, or may have been lingering with us for some time, but we know the right homes are out there. No dog gets left behind!
In addition to getting a dog who really needed you, you will get some great benefits courtesy of Friends of MADACC, including:
- – Leash, collar and harness
- – Check-ins on days 3 and 10 to stay on top of any challenges
- – A $50 gift card to Bark and Scratch after 10 days
- – A certificate for 2 one hour in person dog training sessions
- – A Paws-In $10 gift certificate
Those interested in making a real difference in the life and outcome of one of these wonderful pups should fill out the special interest form here. You will be contacted by the adoption team and they will set up a special appointment with you (during MADACC business hours) for you to meet the dog(s) you may be interested in.
Meet our Fixer Puppers:
Heather is three years old, but no one told her she isn’t a puppy anymore. She’d love to go to obedience classes with you to learn about the finer points of being an adult dog. She has made dog friends at MADACC but can be picky. If you have a dog at home, she might like to meet them first. Heather has been known to play with her toys by herself when no one is watching, but she’d much rather play together!
Happy’s name suits her well. She is a very happy dog.
What she’s working on: Happy gets excited quickly. The trick is calming her back down. We are working with Happy to make sure she has an “off switch” and teaching her not to use her mouth to express herself when she’s excited.
She needs a home that’s feline-free. Happy can be selective about her friends, so she would like to meet potential canine siblings before going home.
Her favorite game is fetch. She’ll even bring the tennis ball back and drop it at your feet!
