About Maddox

Meet Maddox! Maddox is a 3-year-old boy weighing just under 50 pounds, fitting perfectly in that medium size range. His exact breed mix remains a mystery, but someone who's encountered him could easily guess he has a bit of Saint Bernard in him. This gentle soul joined us after his owner suffered a stroke, and while she loved him deeply, life became challenging with seven dogs in her care. Maddox bears some scars, evidence of a hectic past, but they tell stories of resilience rather than hardship. Although he’s a bit timid right now, Maddox’s cautious nature hides a kind heart that just needs time to adjust in a loving home. He has shown that he can get along well with other dogs, although we are still learning how he feels about cats. Maddox is calm and easy to walk. He doesn’t require much beyond patience and kindness, and while he may not run up to greet you immediately, he has the potential to form a deep bond once he learns to trust. Maddox is waiting for the right person to help him truly blossom. If you think you can provide that loving environment, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start.
