If she will, I cannot bring her into my house. Sorry.
2) Does Maddy require some kind of special and expensive diet or expensive medications? I have one paycheque and 4 mouths to feed, plus a dog and cat already; the budget is tight. I recently wanted to adopt another older dog in a similar situation but it needed $400 per month for pain medications, and that is money I simply do not have at this time.
3) Will the owner write something that releases us from any possible health or Lord forbid death of Maddy? We want to extend our family to help, not to get hurt.
4) If the owner returns and does not want Maddy back for whatever reasons, that is okay. We will take care of her for the remainder of her time on this planet.
Attached is a picture on just another day of my dog, Stella, who was Darth Maul according to my 3 year old son.

wow, id thank you 100 times if rs would let me
maddy gets along with kids she says, she currently lives with someone who has 3 kids, and was around friends step son from age 1 - 4 and nothing has ever happened.
special diet, not really, shes an older dog so my friend said she just gives her the basic old age dog formula food, but she said she'd be willing to help and send you money for food when she can.
as for the dogs health, she said she knows maddys old, and if a vet bill were to come up that would be useless (aka hip replacement etc) then she would just put the dog down, and if maddy dies of natural causes, she'd be sad, but she knows maddy wont be around forever. maddy comes with her kennel, dog beds, clippers, brushes etc.
ill pm you her contact info, aka her facebook account, if you don't have facebook she can Skype you whenever possible, she has a +8 hour time difference.
ps - says you live in squamish, she says maddy is usually an indoors dog, and shes quite smart/crafty, if shes left outside on her own for long periods of time, she will find a way out
