Madwand is a gentle soul with a big future ahead of him. This handsome mixed-breed pup is expected to grow into a large dog, but right now he's still figuring out the world at his own pace. Naturally shy and reserved, Madwand will thrive with a patient and understanding family willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and build confidence. He finds comfort in the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine friend to help show him the ropes and reassure him along the way. Madwand also has a love for the outdoors, where he can explore, take in new sights and smells, and quietly enjoy his surroundings. While he may not be an all-day cuddle bug just yet, Madwand does enjoy affection in his own way and on his own terms-and as he grows more comfortable, his snuggly side is sure to blossom. With time, patience, and love, this sweet boy is sure to reveal a loyal and deeply devoted companion. Apply online at www.sfcva.org
