About Maverick

Meet Maverick! This handsome 5-year-old male German Shepherd Dog was recently surrendered by his owner due to job commitments. He’s a big guy, weighing around 90–95 lbs, making him a powerful presence with minimal leash manners—definitely not the best choice for someone who’s not ready for his strength. Maverick stands out with his striking looks that might just change your perception of German Shepherds. He has some typical male dog behaviors since he’s intact, but those will be addressed when he’s neutered on November 10th. He’s friendly and has shown a nice temperament around adults. He willingly hops into the vehicle and goes into his crate without a fuss. Although Maverick hasn’t been around kids yet, his behavior suggests he’d do well, provided the introductions are done carefully. He has lived with other dogs and cats without any issues. Once he’s all vetted, Maverick is set to be a fantastic companion for someone looking to skip the more mischievous puppy phase and bring home a truly beautiful dog. This charming boy is currently being fostered near Bedford, VA. Prospective adopters are encouraged to reach out to his foster for meet and greets.
