About Madigan

Madigan—Madi to her friends—is a Corgi and Pit Bull mix who came from another rescue, and her cautious nature shows she’s seen a few rough days. Born in September 2023, she’s still just a young dog but wants a home that’s calm, predictable, and patient. Quick movements or loud voices can make her nervous, so a quiet household with adults or older teens suits her best. Once she’s comfortable, Madi leans into affection and becomes a true lap dog, happiest snuggled up close. She enjoys company but needs slow introductions to other dogs, and she hasn’t met cats. A fenced yard is ideal for her to safely explore and build confidence. She’ll need a household willing to move at her pace—gaining her trust is a gradual process, but the reward is a devoted, loving companion who will always want to be near you. Madi is spayed, vaccinated—including rabies—heartworm negative, and microchipped. Note: Applicants must live within about 100 miles of Benld or Springfield, IL, and be at least 18.
