Names: Maddie and Mandy (sisters)
Ages: 9 years
Breed: Double Merle Australian Shepherds
Sex: Female (altered as per rescue)
Location: Southeastern New Hampshire

Vet Info: Maddie and Mandy are spayed and up to date on vaccines per their rescue. They are heartworm negative. Each weighs about 35 pounds.

Owner Info: Maddie and Mandy are beautiful Double Merle sisters rescued from a high kill shelter in West Virginia. When they were pulled, they were filthy, matted, covered in their own feces, and had to be shaved down.​ They were temp-fostered until transport to ​New Hampshire to be long-term ​fostered, but unfortunately, the long-term​ foster reported that one of them bit her personal dog. The rescue does not have any other available foster homes, and the girls are currently in boarding. Their rescue is desperately hoping they can get out of boarding and into another foster or adoptive home as soon as possible! They are a bonded pair and have been together for 9 years​. Mandy is blind and Maddie is deaf and blind. Maddie and Mandy are indoor dogs who are crated, they are housebroken but not leash trained. They are described as nervous and shy for obvious reasons​. They are great with men, women, and children and are very loving and affectionate. ​Their rescue writes, "​The boarding facility manager said they are very adapted to their kennel and play area. It does not take them long at all to be acclimated. The manager is in love and spends time with them every day. She said if she didn't already have two, she would adopt them in a moment!​" Maddie and Mandy are nervous around animals they don't know.​ In boarding and at their short-term foster home, however, they did not have any issues and the short-term foster reported they were great with her other dogs​. They are not possessive of toys, treats, or food. Their rescue writes, "All who meet them say they are the sweetest girls!" and they want us to know they're lovable and playful! And very affectionate! ​
