Meet Maddox! He's a handsome young German Shepherd mix, weighing 21lbs, with an estimated birthday of January 26, 2026. Maddox was rescued just in the nick of time from a county shelter and is now safe, learning what it means to be loved, and ready to start the life he deserves. While he can be a little shy when meeting new people, his gentle personality quickly shines through once he feels comfortable. Beneath that timid exterior is a playful puppy who simply wants the chance to be a dog – chasing toys, exploring the world, and soaking up affection from his favorite humans. With patience, love, and a little encouragement, Maddox's confidence grows more every day. If you're searching for a loyal best friend with soulful eyes, a sweet heart, and plenty of puppy love to give, Maddox may be the perfect addition to your family.
