Story
Maddox is a 6 year old pure bred standard poodle. He is smart, energetic, and agile. He loves to chase and be chased. He also loves to cuddle and lay at your feet. Maddox knows basic commands like sit, lay, stay, and come here. Maddox does get anxious being left alone. He would be best suited to a home with another pet to play with and keep him company and a larger yard to help get all of his energy out. If left along with no other person or pet he will pace all day and try and chew himself out. Whether it be a kennel or a door.
