If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to infoHeidisLegacyDogRescue Madison, known as Madi to friends, is a sweet, loving pooch who simply wants to be by your side. Born on January 11, 2024, she’s a sensitive girl who may take a moment to realize you’re a friend, but once she does, her true loving nature blossoms. Madi has already mastered basics like sit, down, let go, and leave it, and her intelligence shines as she learns new commands. She’s energetic, playful, and loves the outdoors—perfect for an active family that enjoys hiking and running. Madi thrives when she has a home where she can burn off energy with other dogs of a similar temperament; she’s good with dogs and would pair well with a companion who matches her zest. While she isn’t fond of crates, she is fully house-trained and eager to please. Her favorite way to show affection is by bringing you her favorite toy every time she sees you, a small gesture that speaks volumes about her devotion. Madi would do best in a home with children over 10, where she can blend her boundless energy with a respectful, active lifestyle. If you’re seeking a loyal, intelligent adventure buddy who’s ready to rally for every hike and playdate, Madison is your girl. Her backstory includes her beginnings as part of a litter of six puppies (three boys and three girls) born January 11, 2024, cared for by Heidi’s Legacy after a citizen reached out for help—an example of the love and rescue that shapes her future.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
