Madison - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Madison found herself in a shelter as a puppy and was adopted about a month later. She was well loved and grew up with a toddler in the home. The family was unable to keep her due to financial and medical constraints. She is overall healthy, house-trained, and doing fantastic at learning a new routine even though her life has been turned upside down. She loves to play, and sometimes her foster has to be the party pooper and break up all the fun. She is gentle with younger puppies and does well with dogs her size. She is still trying to learn how to be gentle with the 10 lbs dogs she interacts with but is eager to win them over even if her size can be intimidating. She is also crate-trained and a very quiet dog. She can be a little shy and takes a minute to assess new situations, but at a year old, she is still a puppy, and learning can be a lot of fun with treats!
