Welcome to the family, Maddox!!

We are proud to announce a new addition to our family.... a sweet 7 month old black lab/mix puppy named Maddox.



As many of you know, I am not the biggest dog/animal lover, but the rest of the family is, so I am outnumbered!! :) We decided to look for a dog that was a little older this time as we have done the puppy thing 2x before and it has been challenging for us. We answered an ad on Craig's List and it all just fell together.

Maddox belonged to 2 young girls from Lubbock who got him from a rescue agency after he was left on a porch in a box at 6 weeks of age. They had a house and room for him, but have since moved to an apartment in Dallas and just don't have room or a yard for him anymore. They took exceptional care of him - his teeth and coat are just beautiful and he is a very trusting and loyal dog. The girls were SO sad to let him go. They told us that they had received many calls in response to their Craig's List ad, but that Jason's was the first message that they had responded to - they didn't like the sound of the other people's voices! :)I have kept in contact with them via email and even sent soem pictures so they could be assured that we are taking good care of Maddox.

He has been SO sweet and gentle with the girls who are head over heels in love with him of course. He is up to date on his shots and is house trained which are 2 of MY favorite qualities about him!! :) We are amazed at how calm and well behaved he is and he is also very smart and easily trainable. He fits right into our family and acts like he's been here forever!

Here are pics of 3 girls and a Dad who are very much in love.....

YAY for happy endings/beginnings!!

"Black mix dogs" are so hard to adopt out of shelters because there are SO many of them...when I volunteered with FM Humane Society, we had many of these mixes because there were just SO many at the pound.

Good for you guys adopting Maddox & it really looks like Maddox has found a forever home :)
