5. Madonna

card will include processing fees
) which includes:
Annual distemper booster
Rabies
Spay/Neuter
Microchip
Madonna’s journey has been a scary one. Shortly after leaving the shelter, she was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and hospitalized. NCQ fought for her, and this sweet girl fought right alongside us.
After months of healing and learning to trust, Madonna has come so incredibly far.
She has formed a special bond with her foster dad and seems most comfortable with men, so a home with a male would be her best fit.
Does well with larger dogs, but is not comfortable with smaller dogs
Cat friendly
No small children, please
Read more about Madonna
Madonna is still cautious with new people and needs someone patient who will allow her to build trust at her own pace.
Private meet-and-greets are required so Madonna can meet potential adopters in an environment where she feels comfortable.
We didn’t rush Madonna while she was healing, and we won’t rush her now. She’s waited this long for the right person—and we know they’re out there.
