Maverick is about six months old and still learning how to trust his surroundings. A little shy at first, he’s been getting used to being around cats, but it's best he not share a home with them right now. Maverick was rescued from a rough environment where dogs had to fight for scraps, so he tends to guard his food—an understandable habit considering his past. He’s small, only around 10 lbs, with a soft medium coat. Despite everything he’s experienced, Maverick shows a sweet and trusting nature that shines through once he realizes he’ll get fed regularly and loved daily. He isn’t house trained yet and will need some patient guidance in a steady home where routines feel safe. Maverick is ready for a caring adopter who can give him the security and gentle care he needs to keep growing into his best self. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
