In the shelter’s words

At about 18lbs, 3 year old Maddox is a sweet little guy waiting for his forever home. He came to Pawfect Match very scared, but is slowly warming up. He was originally part of a hoarding case, then adopted from a shelter in Eastern NC; Maddox was returned to that shelter when his person became terminally ill.Maddox needs another dog in the home to help him continue to build confidence. He has an exuberant playstyle and likes to use his paws to get his friends attention - then he runs away for a game of chase and bounds around like a deer! In fact, Maddox has become BFF with Butler, as they have similarly quirky playstyles; so if you're considering a built-in duo, check out Bulter, too!A fenced yard is a MUST, as the world is still super scary and Maddox startles very easily. Leash walking is not a great option for Maddox; as the day progresses and there is more activity/noise outside, Maddox becomes increasingly nervous. Children make him nervous when he's outside, but when he's inside, he's accepting of their attention. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and ready to be your next family member! The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.
