Maddox is the kind of dog that leaves an impression. Previously in a home, Maddox showed he loves children and easily bonds with his people, craving their attention and company throughout the day. He's not cut out for a lonely lifestyle—he's happiest side-by-side with his humans. Maddox stands out for his gentle manners and calm presence; he handles a leash without fuss and knows his basic cues. He brings real enthusiasm to puzzle toys and enrichment activities, and he balances that brain work with outdoor play, especially if it means romping with other friendly dogs or relaxing in the sunshine. A home with a big yard is ideal for Maddox; he needs space to roam and survey the world. The most important thing is that someone is around often—he doesn't like being left alone for long periods. If you want a loyal, well-mannered companion with smarts and an easygoing nature, Maddox deserves your consideration. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
