Madea

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Madea is about 4 years old and came to us from a shelter in Northern California, where she was extremely scared, undersocialized and overwhelmed by the shelter environment. We were already there pulling another dog when we saw her, and we just couldn’t stand the thought of her losing her life simply because there were too many dogs and not enough space. Once you give Madea a little time to warm up, you discover the sweetest, gentlest little girl.   House trained  Calm and quiet  Nice house manners  Not destructive  Male AND female dog friendly  Loves to cuddle  Gentle, soft personality Sadly, Madea has spent about 4½ months in boarding simply because we didn’t have an open foster space for her. We are so excited to finally get to know her better and would LOVE to find her either a foster home or, even better, a forever family of her very own. We honestly aren’t quite sure what breed mix she is — but whatever she is, she’s adorable.  Madea would be perfect for someone looking for a nice, gentle dog and a quieter companion. She definitely seems to seek out women a little more quickly than men, but bring out a hot dog and you may find yourself becoming her new best friend pretty fast!  She’s also discovering that treats are pretty wonderful. So far, duck feet and bully sticks are getting her stamp of approval. Sometimes the dogs who need just a little extra time are the ones who end up loving you the hardest. Madea deserves the chance to finally know what it feels like to belong.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 17, 2026, 1:15 pm
