Madison's Story

WE DO NOT SEE PETFINDER INQUIRES. PLEASE APPLY AT www.applythreestooges.com<br/><br/>Hi, Im Madison.<br/><br/>For 12 years, I thought I had my forever home.<br/><br/>I knew where my bed was. I knew my familys routines. I knew what it felt like to belong.<br/><br/>Then one day, everything changed.<br/><br/>After a new baby joined the family, I was left behind.<br/><br/>My owner surrendered me when I was 14 years old, after having me for 12 years. Now at 16, when most dogs should be spending their days surrounded by the people theyve loved their whole lives, Im still searching for a new start.<br/><br/>I wont pretend that it doesnt break my heart.<br/><br/>But heres the thing about me: Im stronger than I look.<br/><br/>Im a senior girl, but dont let my age fool you. I still love to run, explore, investigate every interesting smell, and show off just how athletic I can be. I may have some gray on my face, but my spirit is still full of life.<br/><br/>Im independent and quiet by nature, but once I bond with someone, my loyalty runs deep. I love keeping an eye on my people and making sure everyone is safe. Some might call me protective. I call it loving with my whole heart.<br/><br/>Im also pretty smart, if I do say so myself. I know how to sit, give paw, and Im always happy to learn something new if it means spending time with my favorite humans.<br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs, but I can be a little protective of my things, so Id do best as the only dog in the home. Id also prefer a calm home without young children. After everything Ive been through, Im looking for peace. A soft bed. A predictable routine. A family who understands that senior dogs still have so much love left to give.<br/><br/>I dont need another 12 years.<br/><br/>I just need someone willing to give me whatever time I have left.<br/><br/>Someone who will see that my story isnt over.<br/><br/>Someone who will cherish the quiet moments, the walks, the paw shakes, and the unconditional love that only a senior dog can offer.<br/><br/>Ive already given a lifetime of loyalty.<br/><br/>Now Im hoping someone will give me a lifetimes worth of love in return.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Madison

Hi, Im Madison.

For 12 years, I thought I had my forever home.

I knew where my bed was. I knew my familys routines. I knew what it felt like to belong.

Then one day, everything changed.

After a new baby joined the family, I was left behind.

My owner surrendered me when I was 14 years old, after having me for 12 years. Now at 16, when most dogs should be spending their days surrounded by the people theyve loved their whole lives, Im still searching for a new start.

I wont pretend that it doesnt break my heart.

But heres the thing about me: Im stronger than I look.

Im a senior girl, but dont let my age fool you. I still love to run, explore, investigate every interesting smell, and show off just how athletic I can be. I may have some gray on my face, but my spirit is still full of life.

MEET AND GREETS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AFTER AN APPLICATION IS RECEIVED - WWW.APPLYTHREESTOOGES.COM Thank you for considering adopting through Three Stooges Rescue Inc.! Our goal is to make great matches that set both you and your new pup up for success. **1) Submit an application** Start by completing our adoption application. We review applications in the order received and will reach out with any follow-up questions. **2) Screening & conversation** We’ll contact you to discuss your lifestyle, home environment, pets, and what you’re looking for. This helps us confirm fit and recommend the best match. **3) Meet & greet** If approved, we schedule a meet-and-greet (and for current dogs, a dog-to-dog introduction when needed). Some meet-and-greets may be held at a foster home, boarding facility, or event. **4) Approval & adoption details** Once everyone is comfortable, we finalize the adoption. This includes a signed contract, adoption fee, and confirmation of pickup/transition details. **5) Go-home day + support** Your new family member goes home, and we remain available for guidance as your dog settles in. We love updates and “happy tails”! **Notes:** * We may require landlord approval if you rent. * Home checks may be requested for certain dogs/situations. * Adoption fees help cover vetting and lifesaving care. If you want a shorter “tiny box” version for Petfinder (some listings show only a few lines), use this: **Quick Adoption Process:** Apply → phone/text screening → meet & greet → contract + fee → take your new best friend home (with support from us!).
