Hi, I'm Bane Maverick — future giant, current goofball. I'm a Mastiff and Shepherd mix, which basically means I'm equal parts loyal protector and professional clown. I'm still a puppy, so right now I specialize in zoomies, belly rub requests, and trying to figure out this whole “life” thing. I love other dog and cats. I am a little wary of new people at first but once I figure out they are safe, I love them! My hobbies include playing, bouncing around like a baby moose, and leaning my whole body weight into you for cuddles (don't worry... you'll have time to build up your strength before I hit 100+ pounds). Full disclosure: I'm currently working on potty training, and while I'm making progress, let's just say... sometimes the floor and I misunderstand each other. Also, sometimes when I get really excited to see you, I will pee a little. It's not my fault — I just have big feelings and a tiny puppy bladder. The good news is I'm expected to grow out of it... but the enthusiasm? That's here to stay. I'm also in training to learn how to walk properly on a leash. Right now my strategy is a bold mix of zig-zagging, sudden stops, and intense curiosity about literally every leaf. I have a lot of energy. Like... if energy were snacks, I'd be an all-you-can-eat buffet. I love running, zooming, bouncing, and inventing games that probably weren't approved by humans. Perfect Match: Someone who wants a loyal sidekick, enjoys a little chaos with their cuddles, and doesn't mind raising a puppy who will eventually be the size of a small horse. Someone patient, loving, and willing to celebrate small victories like “peeing outside” and “not eating the remote.” Bonus points if you enjoy cuddles, playtime, cheering me on while I learn how to be the best dog ever, long walks, playing fetch, and laughing at a dog who has absolutely no idea how big he's going to get. Facts About Me: Future weight: 100+ lbs Current personality: 100% goofball Special skill: Happy tinkles (temporary feature, not a bug) I'm extremely cuddly and prefer to stay within 0.5 inches of my favorite human at all times. Personal space? Never heard of her. I'm still discovering how big I am. Sometimes I think I'm a tiny lap puppy... even when gravity disagrees. New people are a little scary at first, but if you give me a minute, I will probably decide you are my best friend forever. Car rides are suspicious. Why is the world moving? Who allowed this? If you're looking for a big-hearted puppy who will grow into an even bigger best friend, swipe right. I promise to bring the laughs, the loyalty, and the occasional happy sprinkle.
