About Madeline

Madeline is a 12-year-old toy poodle mix with a gentle spirit and an unmistakable presence. Rescued from a dangerous situation after nearly being hit by cars, she’s bounced back in foster care after receiving the medical attention she needed—dental work for her teeth, a spay, and surgery for mammary masses. Her health is now stable, and her playful personality shines through. Despite being mostly blind, Madeline finds her way around with remarkable assurance. She never hesitates to seek out her people, her food, or even a soft spot to nap in the sun. Madeline is both intelligent and a bit silly, charming everyone with her rug-backing rituals and knack for spotting an escape route. She’s impossible to keep confined by gates. Madeline is deeply affectionate and happiest curled up in a lap or pressed close for a cozy nap. She would do best with someone who appreciates a loyal sidekick and values the warmth of constant companionship. Madeline gets along well with friendly dogs and children. Make space on the couch—she’ll claim it and your heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
