About Maverick

Meet Maverick, a 70-pound bundle of joy who embodies the spirit of a laid-back couch potato yet has that sprinkle of puppy playfulness. At six years old, he prefers to live life at his own pace, akin to a retired gentleman with a fondness for cartoons over news and sports. A leisurely walk or sniffing around the yard is more his speed than intensive hikes. Maverick has a gentle demeanor and manners to match; he enjoys his meals and treats with a politeness that’s hard to resist. When it comes to new people, he can be a bit reserved, opting to observe first before fully engaging. Once he feels secure, that affectionate side shines through, especially when snacks are involved! He is house trained, crate trained, and well-behaved indoors. Maverick is good on a leash, although he appreciates a gentle reminder during walks. He’s selective about his doggy friends, preferring calmer companions over rowdy playmates, but he can coexist with other easygoing dogs. While he hasn’t been tested with cats or children, he would likely do best in a calm home where he can feel secure. Maverick is ready to share laughs and life’s simple joys with someone who understands that trust takes time. He dreams of cozy evenings on the couch, someone who cares, and the chance to enjoy familiar walks around the block. With a little patience, he will reveal his endearing personality and become a wonderful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
