Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Atlanta, GA
INTRODUCING REMINGTON
We know, we know. We did say that we were done for the year due to the need for building up donations and simply put, we are very hesitant to adopt out dogs during the holiday season. We want to ensure that our dogs are adopted out as a lifetime commitment and never as holiday “presents”. But sometimes we find ourselves in extenuating circumstances - like with Remington. You see, Remington (Remi for short) was in need of being rehomed after his Grandma was diagnosed with cancer and dementia. His mom became a full time caretaker and just couldn’t keep up anymore - so we decided to step in.
Remi is a 1 year old male blonde Yorkshire terrier (potentially mixed - Embark DNA test is pending) who is dog friendly, cat friendly and child friendly. If you’re looking for a snuggly lap dog and a 24/7 Velcro dog who doesn’t want to leave your side but is always up for an adventure - Remi might just be your guy! Remi has been vetted (excluding boosters upcoming in January), neutered, has had a dental cleaning and is microchipped.
Yorkshire terriers are a high maintenance breed that require daily grooming. Additionally, adopters should be prepared for daily dental brushing and regular professional dental cleanings. Remi's current weight is 8 lbs. He is house trained and crate trained, however due to how tiny he is he can only hold his bladder for about 5 hours excluding overnight while he's sleeping. Remington is not trained to use potty pads.
Again, we want to ensure applicants understand that Remi is NOT a Christmas present. He will live (God willing) another 15-20+ years with proper care and nutrition. If you are interested, please submit an application on our website:

____________________________________________
The Maddux Movement is a non-profit foster based rescue located in Atlanta, GA. Our mission is to rescue and rehome animals that are in abusive, neglectful or endangering situations, which includes traditional or open admission shelters, strays, owner surrenders and puppy mills. Adoptions are not based on a first come first serve basis. The individual(s) selected will be chosen by what is best for each animal. Although our rescue is breed focused, we are not a breed restrictive rescue.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (including leptospirosis and canine influenza).
Additionally, each adopted dog will be sent home with a personalized adoption kit, a copy of The Forever Dog Life by Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker and a complimentary dog blanket.
