Maddox is an eager, outgoing three-year-old with tons of energy and a big appetite for learning. He's most in his element when food is involved, and his play sessions — especially tug-of-war and romps with dog friends — are highlights of his day. What Maddox needs most is someone ready to channel his excitement and motivation toward positive outlets, as he craves guidance and thrives when given new things to learn. He loves affection but can get overstimulated, so a patient, respectful adopter willing to go slow with introductions is important. A home with experience in reading dog body language and a willingness to work with a professional trainer would give Maddox the best shot at thriving. He's ready to soak up attention and engage in activities that keep his mind and body busy. Maddox gets along with other dogs but hasn't been tested with cats. He will need an adult home that can match his enthusiasm and teach him how to calmly seek affection, practice leash skills, and settle in as the loving, playful companion he's meant to be.
