About Maddox

Maddox is a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois mix whose life changed drastically when her family was separated. Along with her 2-year-old Malinois sister, Mel, Maddox lost the only home she knew. While Mel has found a new family, Maddox is still looking for hers as she stays with loving foster parents in Houston. This sweet girl is well-socialized, living with other dogs, a cat, and two small children. She gets along well with everyone, making her an ideal family companion. Maddox enjoys playing fetch, yet she also values her quiet time, often opting to lounge with her humans. She is housebroken and crate trained, with a gentle and affectionate demeanor that makes her better suited for companionship over a high-energy working role. Maddox is fully vaccinated, spayed, and health checked. Given the recent stresses in her life, finding a home filled with love and attention is essential for Maddox. She’s ready to travel for the right fit, even outside Texas. All potential adopters must have a secure, fully fenced yard—electric and underground fences do not meet the requirement. Maddox’s adoption fee is $400, which covers her medical expenses and helps rescue others in need. The transition has been tough for her, and fostering the right environment is crucial. Let’s help Maddox find her new forever home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
