I’m Madeline, but you can call me Madi! I’m originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, where I grew up riding, training, and competing horses. I’ve had the pleasure of working with lots of different horses over the years, but I always had a soft spot for the spicy ones with a little extra spirit and personality! Needless to say, I’ve always had a fondness for animals with big personalities and plenty of sass. 😉

After growing up in Indiana, I headed east to Boston to attend Simmons University, where I graduated with my BSBA in Business and Management. From there, I made my way down to NYC to pursue my passion for modeling! I’ve had the amazing opportunity to work internationally, including in China, Paris, and Milan, for Fashion Weeks and various high-fashion clients. It’s been such a fun adventure that has allowed me to explore my creative side, experience different cultures, and learn so much along the way!

Through it all, my love for animals has never wavered! I eventually started fostering dogs, and, as these things tend to go, I fell head over heels for one of my fosters and decided he was home for good. My pup, Odi, is now 3 years old and weighs in at 35 pounds of pure muscle (thank you, cattle dog genes!). We love going on hikes, visiting the parks during off-leash hours, and finding any opportunity to go swimming. He’s definitely kept me on my toes!

I absolutely adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I always get a kick out of how much they remind me of horses. Having spent so much time working with animals, I understand just how special the bond between pets and their people can be, and I feel so lucky to be able to share in that love and care while out on our walks.

I’m so excited to be part of the RuffCity team and can’t wait for all the happy tails, sniffy adventures, and four-legged friendships ahead!
