Story
I have mother and daughter. Heidi is 15 years old and Lucy is a10 year old. They are both spayed and CKC certified maltipoos. Heidi weighs close to 8 pounds. Lucy is more at 13 pounds. They are up to date on all shots and do get groomed often and has been well taken care of. I would like to rehome Lucy to a person that can give her the attention she needs. She tolerates other pets but does not care for them. She is a loner she will bark behind the couch when company arrives. She likes to sleep with you under the covers at your feet. a very good foot warmer. Heidi is very friendly but very old. They do not have to stay together to be adopted.

Story
Sweet Freddy is an experience waiting to be had by the right person who has energy to match his. He doesn't show well at PetCo, as most dogs seem not to because that's the only day they get out of boarding and they just want to show off instead. He tries really REALLY hard to be the goodest boy. None of us are perfect, though. SMILES 😁 But he keeps on trying!!!He has been through training so he does know HOW to behave.He's still a puppy at heart, but not size and we call him an "Alabama brown dog" with a total mix of breeds, most likely Mountain Cur, maybe lab and even a little Anatolian thrown in for good measure.He probably isn't a couch potato because he's looking for someone who will welcome his big personality as a plus and appreciate his comic relief and zoom zoom zoomies out in a yard that has a tall fence. He doesn't bark a lot that we've experienced; he enjoys playing HARD with other large dogs such as himself who like to play just RUFF as he does and have the zoomies also. He really would love to get out of boarding where he's been for 18 months! His fee has been sponsored to the right adopter who qualifies through the adoption process. Apply online atMadisonarf.org

Story
Koda is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He loves to run and play, sun bathe, and overall just loves nature and being outside. When he’s not a ball of energy, he is the sweetest cuddler and gives the best kisses. He’s very curious and extremely smart. He knows the “sit” command and we’ve been working with a trainer that has taught him lots of other commands. He is potty trained.

Story
We got Millie when she was a puppy. She is a sweet, quirky 4 year old lab. We are looking to rehome her due to moving out of state in about 2 months. Millie is an anxious dog who is in need of an experienced dog lover who can give her the extra attention she needs. When she gets anxious she barks and sometimes growls but is not aggressive in any way. She is extremely gentle with our one year old baby and gets along with my parents cat.I did put unknown about getting along with other dogs due to when she sees a dog she doesn’t know she does bark but she played very well with my parents dog. Every time she goes up to another dog on walks she barks and sniffs them and seems like she may want to play.I just want to make sure she find a good loving home! Note: when we adopted her we were told she was 100% black labrador retriever

Story
Jax loves to run and play with anyone active , but is happy to lay around with you on a lazy day. He LOVES a hard toy to chew on. Flavored bones give him a stomach ache. He likes to go to the dog park to sniff around, and loves to play with a ball. He would be best in a lively house with a back yard for him to run around in. He plays well with others, will chase a house cat but will not harm them. He is house trained, crate trained , and knows basic commands. He does pull on walks when something catches his attention. Would not recommend leaving him in the home unattended, he gets anxious and tears things up. neutered and up to date on vaccinations. No medical conditions.

Story
Missy is the type of dog who, after a couple of months you will wonder how you ever lived without her.Prissy Missy was found in a parking lot, dumped by a cruel someone, so she didn't have the best beginning at life, as a lot of them and we certainly want to change that for all of our babies! We want to make them forget their past and have the best future and forever after. She is a little timid with new people but warms up quickly, does not like small children in her face because she thinks they move too fast and they scare her, so she would do best with teens or no kids at all.She does love to play but she also gives the best hugs in all the world and loves to snuggle in your lap and would love to watch TV with you on the sofa. Apply online to Foster or adopt.We furnish everything for Foster homes. She is spayed, fully vetted and on heartworm prevention. The adoption fee is negotiable because she's been in boarding so long and we have vetted her a couple of times so no adoption fee would touch what we have spent on her lol. I don't think she would do well with another dog because she can resource guard her toys, treats and food, so she probably would do best with either a very submissive dog or as an only child. She's extremely sweet but she is very much an alpha dog.MadisonARF.org is where you will find the application for both foster and adoption. She'll change your life for the better.
