🌟 Meet Maurice, everyone! This charming 4.5-month-old Labrador and German Shepherd mix is like a warm hug wrapped in fur! Weighing in at about 32 lbs, he’s not just a beautiful boy; he’s packed with personality and a heart full of love. ❤️ With his endearing nature, Maurice showcases a delightful mixture of playfulness and sensitivity that makes him truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s chasing after balls, wrestling with his furry foster siblings, or indulging in the satisfying crunch of a bully stick, Maurice’s joyful spirit is contagious! 🎾🐶 But wait, he’s not just a fun-loving pup; he’s also a social butterfly! This sweet boy thrives in the company of other dogs and feels most secure when he has a canine buddy by his side. Plus, he’s cat-friendly! Just imagine the delightful household dynamics with this lovable crew! 🐾 Now, Maurice might be a bit shy when meeting new faces. He’s like a shy book at a party, needing a little time to open up. But once he warms up, oh, the affection he brings! He really enjoys being close to his people, and with some treats, he’s quickly learning to trust and even mastering some basic commands like “sit” and “come.” But that’s not all — this little brainiac loves to work! Give him puzzle toys, snuffle mats, or lick mats, and watch him thrive. He’s focused, engaged, and will keep searching for every last tasty treat! 🧠✨ Maurice is also well on his way to becoming a potty-training pro and sleeps like a baby in his crate, soundly through the night. 💤 With patience, structure, and ideally a confident dog to guide him, Maurice is set to blossom into a devoted companion this world needs! If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate pup with a playful spirit, Maurice could very well be the perfect addition to your family. 🏡💖 Maurice is currently being fostered in CT, but he’s all set to be adopted throughout the Northeastern states! Remember, to make Maurice a part of your family, you must apply through the Buddy App! Don’t miss your chance to shower him with love and laughter! 🐕💌
