Meet Maverick! 🐾 Maverick is an 8–9 week old puppy who has been an absolute joy in his foster home. With his sweet personality and playful spirit, he’s already winning over everyone he meets! He loves to play and nap alongside his foster dog sibling and enjoys spending time outdoors exploring. Maverick is especially gentle and affectionate with kids—he adores playing with his foster family’s 6-year-old daughter and fits right into family life. Like most puppies, Maverick has bursts of energy, but he settles down quickly and loves to snuggle. Whether it’s curling up next to his humans or cuddling his favorite stuffy, he’s happiest when he’s close to those he loves. Maverick is currently working on his puppy basics. He’s making good progress with potty training, starting to learn “sit,” and is doing well in his crate after a short adjustment period. With continued consistency and love, he’s sure to thrive! This sweet boy bonds quickly with both people and other dogs, making him a wonderful companion. Maverick will bring so much love, laughter, and happiness to his forever home. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly, and loving addition to your family, Maverick might just be your perfect match! 🐶💛 If you are interested in one of our puppies, the first step is to go to our website and fill out an application. https://placingpawsrescue.org/applications/dog-application/ BEFORE CONSIDERING A PUPPY FOR ADOPTION: Please keep in mind that puppies need attention during the day.

ADOPTION PROCESS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application online at www.placingpawsrescue.org. Once we review the applications, those applicants that are thought to be a good match will be contacted as quickly as possibly. We ask that you please be patient with us as we are all volunteers. Then a telephone interview will take place, references checked and a home visit will be conducted. We will then arrange for you to meet the dog. We require that all family members, including current dogs meet the dog prior to adoption. We put all of the known information in the animals description. If the animal is listed on the website, we are still accepting applications for that animal. We only remove the animal when the final adoption paperwork is signed. The best way to contact us is by email at placingpaws@yahoo.com. It is very difficult for the limited numbers of volunteers to return all calls. Thank you.
