About Madysen

Madysen is a four-year-old spayed female Lab/Hound mix who landed at Charley's after her brother was adopted from a southern shelter, leaving her behind. Found as a stray, not much is known about her early life, but what’s clear is that Madysen has a playful, big-hearted nature and a real need for structure. She acts like an oversized puppy—strong, lively, and always ready to move. Daily exercise is non-negotiable: think running, hiking, or regular outings to a fenced yard or even doggie daycare. She’s mouthy and loves to jump, so positive reinforcement and obedience training will be important. Madysen’s high energy suits a home with another male dog of similar size and stamina, but she’s not a good fit for homes with small or senior dogs. Her response to cats is unknown, so a cat-free home—or one committed to slow, careful introductions—is necessary. Any current resident dog will need to join her for a meet and greet. Madysen’s play style means she should go to an adult-only home, ideally with someone around most of the day and committed to guiding her development. She’s vaccinated, tested negative for heartworm, spayed, and receives preventative care and eyedrops for minor cherry eye, which doesn’t require surgery. As a southern dog, year-round heartworm prevention is essential, with consistent testing. Madysen is eager for an adopter who’s ready to invest time and care into helping her thrive. Your patience will be rewarded with a loyal, energetic companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
