Maddie needs a home! This lovable girl is a 4 year old black and tan Coonhound who loves to cuddle. She was surrendered because she was uncomfortable with kids, so a home where she would be the youngest (fur) child would be best fitting. Maddie would not be comfortable in a home with a cat, but she will be willing to give another dog a chance if it meets her "playmate standards." If you're looking for an active and playful dog who also loves to snuggle, Maddie is the girl for you! To learn more about Maddie, please visit dunncountyhumanesociety.org

I can't trust my dogs with other dogs. The problem stemmed from her being attacked by 2 Jack Russels who went for her face. Until this time she had been sociable with other dogs. I would appreciate your thoughts.

This is a very common issue after a dog has been attacked by other dogs. A muzzle will prevent her from actually biting another dog, but it won't change the feelings she's having about them. She's afraid, which is why she's behaving this way. She needs to know you will keep other dogs away from her, so she can relax. A muzzle is fine to prevent an accidental bite, but it's only part of the solution.
