Madison
Customer Service Representative
About Madison
Madison was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. She recently relocated to Manchester with her boyfriend Alex. Together they have Kipper, a mixed breed they recently adopted as a rescue from Georgia.
She grew up loving all things ecological. She had with the best dog in the world, Ruby. Rescuing her as a child (along with her family) is one of her favorite memories of growing up. Madison attended the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and earned a B.S. in Environmental Education and Interpretation.
Before coming to Best Friends, she worked near Syracuse on her family’s farm taking care of horses, cows, chicken, sheep, and goats. In her free time, she loves hiking, kayaking, swimming, taking naps, and cooking. She is still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up; in the meantime, she’s enjoying learning and providing excellent customer service here at Best Friends.
