About Maroon

Maroon is a sweet, sensitive big goofball who wants nothing more than to build a strong bond with his people. Squirrel watching, chasing, chewing tennis balls, and playing tag are a few of his favorite activities. Athletic and always ready for some yard time or daily walks, Maroon is nevertheless happy and relaxed when left alone in his foster home—he naps and patiently waits for your return. He loves praise and attention and is always eager to make his humans happy. This smart, inquisitive boy is quick to pick up new routines and cues. He respects boundaries once you show him what’s expected. While new situations sometimes make him a bit nervous, reassurance brings out his friendly, wiggly side and his desire to say hello to everyone. Maroon will be a loyal companion ready to shower someone with affection, but he is not a fit for homes with cats or other dogs. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
