The Madison at Racine

🐾 July Pet of the Month 🐾

Say hello to Boba, our sweet border collie who's been bringing smiles to The Madison for the past year! 💛 Whether she's chasing frisbees at Skinner Park, playing with her favorite ball, or dreaming about French fries, Boba knows how to make every day an adventure.

Congratulations, Boba, on being our July Pet of the Month! 🎉🐾💕

Meet Goofy, a one-year-old Jack Russell mix with a big personality packed into a small body. He’s feisty, silly, and loves to ‘talk’ like a husky, keeping his mom laughing daily. Goofy is a working boy at heart and a little too smart for his own good. If his mom doesn’t give him a job, he’ll find one himself. Catch him in his latest role: carrying mail and packages home from the mailroom, then enthusiastically opening them and running off with the contents, much to his mom's dismay. True to his name, he brings a little extra joy (and noise!) wherever he goes.

Mango is a 1.5-year-old mini dachshund with a very big personality packed into a very small body. Her greatest passions in life include chicken, eggs, and making sure everyone in the building knows she exists. While she’s timid at first, she quickly decides every dog she meets is her best friend. When she’s not howling in unison with ambulances, you can find her burrowed completely under a blanket, recharging for her next important barking assignment. She loves making new dog friends and playing with them at the dog run.

Hey everyone, my name is Cleo and I just turned 2 last month on the 20th! I’m probably the friendliest cat you’ll ever meet — I’m always open to trading some of my famous biscuits for chin scratches and treats. I was rescued from PAWS here in Chicago but am a frequent traveler to Los Angeles too!

If I’m not playing with my Papa, I’m definitely perched by the window, watching all of my dog neighbors in the dog park. I like to think I’m the unofficial supervisor of the park; making sure everyone is playing safely and staying hydrated. When I’m off duty, you’ll find me demanding treats, flopping dramatically for belly rubs, or zooming through my apartment at top speed for no apparent reason. And if you ever do see me around in my carrier, feel free to say hi with some “Pspsps”!

Mia is a 3 month old maltipoo and has made her 30 year old mum a first time pawrent!

Whilst she tops the scale at a minuscule 4lbs, she is quite the bundle of energy - she loves playing with all her toys (her favourite is a personalised Christmas pudding) and would choose to survive on a diet of pure peanut butter if she could (mum says no - boo!)

She’s looking forward to meeting you all!

Moose is a 4 year old mini Bernedoodle with a big heart and a goofy soul. He loves getting attention, and sometimes doesn’t remember where his feet are. Before living at the Madison, Moose called Utah home, where he enjoyed running around in fresh snow and playing with his littermates.

Moose is a morning dog through and through. A perfect day in Moose’s book starts with him waking up ready to party (aka eat breakfast, go potty, and hopefully play with a friend), then taking a nap through the afternoon. He loves going to the dog park and playing with Chuck-It balls.

If there’s anything Moose loves more than mornings, it’s getting love from people! If you see Moose around, be sure to give him some pets (but he’ll probably come to you first).

Hi everyone! My name is Duke, and I joined my mom and dad at Madison in August. I LOVE my new home! I’m a southern boy from Alabama, and my
parents rescued me from PAWS Chicago. I’m not going to lie—the city life made me a little nervous at first, but my mom gave me the official “city boy pass.” 😄

I’m 9 months old and I LOVE cuddles, food, and treats! I love to play and chase, and I’ve already made so many new friends. I love the front desk, too—every day I have to stop by and say hello. I even got a nickname: “Mr. Duke.”

Meet Lottie, a sweet girl with a serious case of "food first" syndrome. Her favorite pastimes include demolishing a new toy to get to its delicious squeaker heart, and then demanding snuggles and pets for a job well done.

When she is not busy bossing her mom around, you can find her on high alert, serving as the official neighborhood watch captain. She loves to keep an eye on all her friends, deciding whether to greet them with a playful dash or a dignified, "mind your own business" glance. Her two moods are 1) party animal, and 2) get out of my way, I'm busy.

Lottie is living her best life, one snack and squeaky toy at a time!
