Fall River Forever Paws Maddox has been with them for 3 months with no interest despite being a tender-hearted, sensitive soul

Maddox has sadly been at Forever Paws for 3 months with no interest.

He may be big, and he’s a pit bull, but he’s not scary. At least, not once you’ve seen him rolling around in snow or scratching his back on gravel or basically being the silliest of geese.

Maddox is 7 years old and he weighs about 72lbs. He’s a big boy and, like most big boys go, he’s a tender-hearted, sweet summer child, sensitive soul. His face ALWAYS looks like he got caught doing something he absolutely should not be doing even though he’s never done a single thing wrong in his life…ever.

A shy boy at first, once Maddox is pretty confident that you aren’t going to eat him. He’s content to just plop next to wherever you are and hang out. That’s not to say that he doesn’t get the zoomies because he definitely does (don’t let his age fool you). He has some decent training under his belt and knows his basics (sit, stay, come, down, etc) and knows his name…and actually responds to it. Forever Paws has been working with him on his leash manners, and he’s been picking up on it really quickly so he’s less pully and more inclined to just stick by your side and let you take the lead (unless he really has to pee…which, you know, fair enough.)

Forever Paws is looking for an adult only home where Maddox can be the only animal. He isn’t bad with other dogs, but he doesn’t really know how to act around them and he’s…well, he’s socially awkward. No aggression, just “mom, pick me up, I’m scared” energy. He honestly could be okay with the right female dog that will just mind her business and do her own thing and let him do his own thing. He’s OBNOXIOUS when it comes to cats as in, he has zero boundaries and he’s “toddler that just discovered the word ‘why'” levels of curious when it comes to them so…no cats, for their sake.

Since he’s a “restricted breed”, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.
