Maddie (Madigan)  is a 3 year-old black & tan English Toy Spaniel. She weighs 12.9 lbs. She is a delightful happy girl very curious and learns very fast.  She wants to stay close to her foster mom when she is watching TV but not on her lap. She will follows her all over the house. She loves being outside and exploring the yard getting better about going potty outside but she will not let her foster mom know the she has to go so taking her out every 2 hours or when she starts to go around in circles is necessary.  The other dogs are helping her learn.  She will pee on crate pads dog beds and blankets so any adopter should plan on continuing to work on housebreaking.  She likes other dogs and is OK with the cat in her foster home.   

Maddie is very food driven so she needs to be crated or have her private space at feeding time.  She will try to eat the food of other dogs so it’s best to separate her till everyone is finished. 

She had an eye infection but that is cleared up and she is receiving over-the-counter moisture drops.  She had many extractions when she had dental surgery but it doesn’t affect her appetite. 

She is happy with another small canine companion (another ETS would be ideal!) and absolutely must have a securely fenced yard at her new home.   Knowledge and experience with English Toy Spaniels is strongly preferred.  Maddie is being fostered in the Knoxville area.  We do not ship dogs on planes or use commercial transports so consider the location and your ability to drive to pick up a dog before you fill out an application.  Please complete an application first, then contact Mary Coyne, mary401339@aol.com of your interest.

Thank you.
