Meet Maverick! 🐾✨ This 50-lb, neutered male is a vibrant 1–2 years old bundle of joy, who was found in an abandoned home, living among other dogs in an unmanaged environment. But don’t let that tough start fool you—Maverick’s spirit is soaring like an eagle! 🦅 After thriving in his foster home for nearly two months, his foster can’t stop raving about him! Let’s dive into the good stuff: Maverick is exceptionally friendly, greeting everyone—humans and dogs of all shapes and sizes—with a wagging tail and a smile that could light up the darkest room. 🌟 His high-energy personality means he absolutely adores his walks, and while he might tug at first, he settles down beautifully once the excitement wears off. 🌳 And guess what? He’s fully potty trained—he even rings bells to let you know it’s time to go outside! 🚪🔔 Add in that he’s crate trained, smart as a whip, and eager to learn, and you’ve got yourself a true superstar! 🌟 Why not continue that positive training with some fun obedience classes? It’ll be a blast! 🎓🐶 Now, let’s keep it real about the things he’s still working on: Maverick is a strong chewer—shoes, toys, beds... and possibly your couch! 😅 Make sure to provide plenty of appropriate chew toys and regular exercise to keep him entertained and happy! 🎾 He also prefers being with his people (understandably, given his past), so it’s best not to crate him for more than six hours at a time. Chew toys will be a must when he has to be left alone! 🧸 On the medical side, Maverick once suffered a leg injury that may require some long-term love and care. But don’t worry! Two veterinary evaluations show that he has adapted beautifully. They suggest no treatment for now, just some supplements and possibly carprofen as needed. But keep an eye on that leg as he matures; arthritis might creep in! 🐾💪 What makes Maverick truly special is his gigantic heart! 💖 Despite his rocky start, he radiates friendliness, love, and joy. That kind of resilience makes him a true gem in the world of dog rescue. 💎 Maverick is ready for an active, loving family that will continue his training and meet his high-energy needs, and—most importantly—cherish him as he deserves! So, if you want this sweet bundle of joy to be part of your life, *apply through the Buddy App* today! Together, let’s find him a forever home filled with love! 🏡❤️
