Hi everyone, I am the masterful Maddox (Max) and here's some information about me:Age:  1 year 6 monthsBreed: Shepherd/Rottweiler crossGender: Male Weight: 80 lbsHeight: 24 inchesI am a high energy, smart dog, who loves to learn! Did you see my graduation picture? Some may call me a lifelong learner! Due to my age, I need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. My perfect home would have an active lifestyle where I could join you on various activities.I am both crate and leash trained and  have also completed PetSmart's obebience course.  I have so much love to share and can't wait to learn more with you! Even though I can get quite excitable, I do follow cues well and calm down after a while. I can be quite vocal when playing with other dogs, but I am not aggressive.Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: Completed obedience trainingLeash skills: YesHouse trained: YesHealth notes: I have been neutered and fully vaccinatedMy adoption fee is $550.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. 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.
