About Maverick

Maverick is a middle-aged Belgian Malinois eagerly searching for a family to call his own. This affectionate boy exemplifies what it means to be a Velcro dog—he thrives on companionship and wants to be wherever you are. Whether you’re gardening, loading the car, or just lounging on the couch, he’s ready to be right by your side. His love for people makes him a wonderful companion for active families, especially those who enjoy outdoor adventures. He is great with kids and highly food motivated, which makes training an enjoyable experience. Intelligent and eager to please, Maverick excels in fast-paced environments where he can spend time running and playing. However, he does require patience when meeting new dogs; a slow introduction will help him feel comfortable. Though he’s selective, he can live with the right canine buddy given the proper introductions. Due to his athletic nature, keep a close eye on him outdoors—he’s known to hop fences, so supervised playtime or a secure tie-out is crucial. Possessing an understanding of Belgian Malinois traits will be beneficial for any potential adopter, ensuring they’re well-prepared for his energetic spirit and needs. Maverick has already spent too long looking for his forever home. Let’s help him find the family he deserves! Adoption is $400, covering spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, and a clean bill of health. While we work on potty training, complete house training is not guaranteed before adoption, as regression can occur during the transition to a new home. Your new best friend is just one click away.
