About Maverick

Maverick needs a hero. This 4-year-old Great Dane is not just a gentle giant; he's a loving, playful companion with a goofy side that shines through in every moment. He thrives on companionship, preferring to lounge on the couch or follow his favorite people around the house. Despite his sweet nature, Maverick has a cautious disposition, particularly around men, stemming from past abuse. His anxiety during storms and loud noises presents a challenge, but he manages without medication. Unfortunately, a recent isolated incident while in his crate during a thunderstorm has put his life at risk, leading to an urgent need to find him a new home. His family has decided to rehome him for his safety, giving us a narrow window to help. Maverick deserves a chance at a loving forever home, where he can continue to be the special dog he is. He's neutered, crate-trained, and will be up to date on vaccinations before adoption. Maverick is located in Rochester, NY but can travel for the right family. If you’re willing to give this affectionate boy a new start, reach out immediately. His life depends on it! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
