Meet Maddox-Shawn & Sue’s Ocean County Pet of the Week

Every week we team up with the Popcorn Park Rescue Zoo to show off their dogs or cats ready for adoption.

Happiness just exudes from our friend Maddox and if you adopt him, he'll bring lots of happiness to your life too! This 3 year old pittie was not always this way though, but we are thrilled that his former life has been put behind him and it's all smiles from here on in. Maddox was turned in by his owner who said he could no longer care for him. It was obvious that it had been a long time since anyone had taken care of Maddox by the looks of him. He was rail thin, his skin was in terrible condition and his hair was falling out. Poor Maddox suffered neglect for quite a while. It took about a month to get this sweet boy back in shape but now, Maddox is positively thriving and is ready to meet the family that will make his dreams of a good home a reality. Maddox is a friendly and outgoing little guy that does the whole body-wiggle as soon as you start talking to him. Give him a toy and you're his best friend for life! Maddox has a ball carrying around and squeaking toys, running in our exercise yard, and just making friends and enjoying life. It really doesn't take much to make him happy. Maddox is well behaved, sits and lies down immediately when asked, and is very gentle while taking treats. All this and he's good with other dogs and kids too. What more could you ask for?

How adorable is Maddox playing with this giant ball:
