MEET OUR TEAM

Maddie Love

Founder & President

Maddie is a graduate of Texas Christian University. She owns and manages Ruff Resort & Spa, a daycare and boarding facility in Fort Worth. Maddie is a proud dog mom to her seven fur babies: Miley, Belle, Diamond, Diva, Vanilla Bean, Koda, and Titan. She is a dog lover through and through. Maddie volunteered full-time with other animal rescue agencies over the last 4 years before breaking off and starting her own organization. Her passion for rescue has been a driving force in her life and always will be.

Maddie facilitates the intake of all the dogs that come through Love & Paws and fosters a majority of them. She ensures that all of them get the very best care medically and socially. Maddie's favorite thing about rescue is taking in the nervous, timid dogs and helping them see that not all humans are bad.
