Maverick was left tied to a street post for three days before he was picked up, but that’s only the beginning of his story. This Shepherd/Husky mix from Lathrop, CA, is big and striking, with plenty of energy and heart. At about 80 lbs and born in mid-July 2020 (Cancer pups are known for their loyalty), he’s turned out to be a resilient, affectionate companion who’s especially playful and enjoys having other dogs around. Maverick starts off a little shy, but once he realizes he’s safe, he blossoms into a devoted friend. He’s smart, eager to learn, and simply needs a home with patience, structure, and affection. Maverick is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, so he’s set for a new life. Ready for a true best friend? Click apply to start the adoption process.
