Maddox (S. Korea) HZ♂

About

Hi, I'm Maddox! Breed: Jindo Mix Age: 9 Months Gender: Male Weight: 31 lbs Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, friendly My story started in Korea, where I was one of 16 dogs facing euthanasia after a shelter closed due to financial difficulties. Thanks to an incredible rescue effort, I was given a second chance at life—and now I'm searching for my forever family. I'm a friendly, gentle boy who can be a little shy when meeting new people. If you approach me calmly and maybe offer a tasty treat, we'll be friends in no time. Once I trust you, I'll happily roll over to show you my belly for rubs! I've met children on walks and have always been patient and kind, even when they're loud and energetic. I absolutely love other dogs and often introduce myself with a playful invitation, no matter their size. I'm even living with a cat in my foster home! Although my feline roommate isn't always thrilled about sharing space with me, I politely back away and respect their boundaries. I have a moderate energy level for a puppy. I enjoy walks, outdoor adventures, and the occasional wrestling match with my dog friends, but I'm just as happy to settle down and relax at home afterward. I'm learning my leash manners and am doing well adapting to city life, including unexpected noises and busy surroundings. Through it all, I've never shown aggression. I don't guard my food or toys, I rarely bark, and I haven't shown signs of separation anxiety or a desire to escape. I'm about 90% housetrained and improving every day. What I'm really looking for is a family who will give me patience, love, and the chance to keep blossoming into the wonderful companion I know I can be. Could you be the happy ending I've been waiting for? Energy Level: Moderate energy level for puppy. I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: yes Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. House trained: 90%. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: I will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
