🌟 Introducing Maurice! At just 4.5 months old, this delightful Labrador * German Shepherd mix is a lovebug who’s full of charm and sweetness! Weighing in at around 32 lbs, Maurice brings a gentle spirit that wraps around you like a warm hug. Now, let’s talk about his personality! Maurice is a playful pup with a tender heart. He adores balls, squeaky toys, and, oh my goodness, bully sticks! 🤤 But here’s the real scoop: he thrives on companionship! Whether he's wrestling with his playful brother or joining in on the fun with the big dogs in his foster home, having another furry friend by his side is like having his own little team. And guess what? He’s even friendly with cats! 🐱 When it comes to meeting new faces, Maurice might be a little on the shy side. He takes his time to warm up, but once he feels safe, he leans in for those sweet cuddles. He’s treat-motivated — talk about a winning ticket! He’s already picked up on commands like “sit” and “come” like a champ. Consistency and routine? That’s Maurice’s jam! Let’s not forget Maurice's love for mental games! 🧠 He’s all about those puzzle toys and snuffle mats, keeping him engaged longer than a good thriller! This smart boy loves having a “job” to do, so get ready for some fun training sessions. Maurice is also crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night — not a peep from this cutie pie! He’s making strides with potty training, too, especially when kept on a consistent schedule. What does Maurice need to thrive? A home that offers patience, structure, and preferably another confident dog to give him that extra dose of security. With the right love and guidance, he will blossom into the most devoted companion you could ever hope for! 🌈 If you’re on the hunt for a playful pup with a gentle touch, Maurice just might be your perfect match. He’s currently being fostered in CT but is available for adoption throughout the Northeastern states! You can apply to adopt Maurice through the Buddy App. Don’t miss out on the chance to welcome this precious boy into your home! 💖🐾
