Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Madison was surrendered to a city shelter along with his two siblings, when his owner passed away. His two sisters were adopted, but Madison is still looking for his forever home. He is the quintessential American Bull Dog, and will make a wonderful companion to any family. Madison is people and dog friendly, well trained, neutered, up to date on shots and micro chipped too. Please read what Madison’s Foster Mom had to say about him, to know what we mean about “Quintessential ABD”:
“Meet Madison, a 5 year old ABD, who is such a clown. He has HIS bed and it contains HIS bedding under which he hides HIS possessions. He sleeps on top of everything that is his...but I haven't seen any aggression in guarding his things. If I straighten up his bed, he comes over to make sure I'm not stealing his stuff, but he'll look up at me, wag his whole body and give me a quick peck on the cheek.
Madison is content to lounge on his bed much of the time, but he's quite athletic when he's out. When he's out, he's always hunting. When his drive is turned ON, it is ON all the way. Madison is sweet, but not the overly affectionate type. The best I get from that happily wagging body is a quick "peck on the cheek". I was trying to get him to cuddle with me and he got all goofy and just sat on legs as if to say "There. How do ya like me now?" I would keep him in a heart beat if I were in a position to.
Madison does well in a quieter environment - country or suburban. He would get along with a dog that didn't bother him or was submissive to him. It takes him some time to really warm up to someone. He needs his own "stuff" and his own space. He really likes having HIS bed in HIS kennel. He jumps against the back door to come in at times and even with the garage completely open, chickens roaming and dogs everywhere, each time I have found him sitting in front of his kennel door waiting to go in.
Madison would thrive in a calm household in a quiet area, ideally with a fenced yard and another quiet, laid back, submissive dog. No cats. He likes rawhide and soft, furry, floppy toys. LOVES car rides. Older kids would be fine.”
Maddie has a big heart, and he has a beautiful soul. He truly deserves a kind-hearted person who he can trust and give all of his love and loyalty to. Please contact 917 689 8414 to meet Madison!
