AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Madison is a 2-3 year old lab/shepherd mix who recently arrived from an overcrowded shelter. She found herself on the dreaded urgent list; we got her just in time! Affectionately nicknamed Maddie by her foster family, she is an incredibly loving and sweet girl who is ready to thrive in her forever home. She is a great size at just over 45 lbs and has incredibly soft fur. Maddie's perfect day would involve cuddling up next to her humans to binge watch TV... although no promises she doesn’t snore through the show!
Maddie’s favorite food group is cheese… any and all cheese please! This is very helpful for training. Maddie has been through a lot of changes lately. Her family surrendered her and her sister with no explanation after adopting them as puppies two years ago. She was understandably nervous upon arrival to a new environment with new sights and sounds. She can be easily surprised, but settles quickly back into her default relaxation mode. She’s working on leash walking and being more comfortable outdoors. Maddie recently learned how fun treat training can be and has already made incredible strides in one week.
Madison does pretty well in her crate and is generally good with house training when kept on a schedule. She's excited to keep working on this skill and earning more treats! Maddie is great with other dogs, and easily developed friendships with the pups in her foster home. She would do well in a home with other pups to nap next to and play with daily. She'd also be happy to receive all of her humans' attention as an only dog.
