Maddox and his sister, Madison, suddenly found themselves back at the rescue after years with their family, when allergies forced their return. Maddox is a big Lab-mix—a bit unsure when things are new. If he feels unsettled, he might bark at the world, but give him a moment and he’ll melt into the friendly, affectionate dog he really is. He gravitates toward calm company, enjoys short walks, and knows his way around a leash. This guy is house-trained and doesn’t need much fuss, just steady reassurance and patient introductions at his pace. The team is still deciding whether Maddox and Madison are a package—if not, Maddox would thrive with a confident dog friend to help him settle in. He gets along well with other dogs and really just wants someone who’ll help him feel safe and secure. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
