Madison

MADISON – Mexi-Mix / 3 Years / 20kg / F-Spayed<br/><br/>Dear Diary…Madison here with another daily update about my new life in Canada! It’s Day 28 of being in the Great White North and today, I was brave enough to get zoomies in the hallway of my foster parents’ apartment building! It was SO much fun – my tail wagged the whole time and I finally felt like my playful self again. I’ve been a bit on the shy-er side so far, but over the past week, I’ve been feeling less scared, less anxious, and much more comfortable in my surroundings. And I think my foster parents must have noticed because they keep giving me all kinds of treats and getting really excited any time I do ANYTHING. But I love their encouragement and excitement – I feel braver because they’ve been so patient and loving with me.<br/><br/>I’ve found that I really like hanging out with my people and being involved in what’s going on. Sometimes they sit on this thing called a couch and just stare at a bright screen…I don’t know what they’re doing, but I sure like hanging out with them when they’re doing it! I’ve also been told that I’m really good at keeping myself busy: I’m an independent girlie – always have been and always will be. But all that means is that I can entertain myself and that I like my own company! I’m still head over heels for cuddles and affection from my people and love to be with them whenever I can be.<br/><br/>When we go out on walks, I LOVE to sniff everything that I can find. There are just so many new things to smell that I could just wander and sniff all day long. I’m hoping that my forever family will be people who enjoy being outdoors with a curious walking companion – I love being able to just take my time and truly investigate the world around me. And don’t even get me started on other dogs. That’s one thing that’s stayed a constant since coming to Canada: I feel so much more comfortable with dog friends around me. Sometimes I forget that there are other dogs in the world and I feel a bit more anxious when I feel alone. But as soon as I see other dogs, I can feel my bum start to wag and my spirits instantly lift. Sometimes it’s nice to hang out with someone just like you, right?<br/><br/>My foster parents’ keep telling me how proud they are of me and that makes me proud of myself too. My whole life changed and my world shifted when I came to Canada 28 days ago, but I’ve embraced the change and learned to see that I can only go up from here! Canada is full of loving people, friendly dogs, and great stuff to smell. It’s taught me that I love affection from my people, that the world is full of interesting, totally-not-scary things, and that there are so many dogs out there that I haven’t even met yet.<br/><br/>I’ll sign off now, more updates later. For now, this gentle, sweet-natured, and affectionate new Canadian is signing off!<br/><br/>If you think that you and Madison would be a perfect fit, please fill out an application at www.dibsrescue.com. Madison’s adoption fee is $750. If you are a family with kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
