Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maverick is a wonderful and very sweet dog. He can be a little timid but once he feels confident, out comes a happy and playful boy. He gets along very well with other dogs. He loves to run and play with his dog playmates. And after he runs and plays, he quickly settles down for some rest. He is a low to moderate activity dog. He is submissive and will readily roll onto his back and let the other dog be the boss. He loves to chew on toys and bones. He is still trying to figure out fetch, he's not quite sure why someone keeps throwing his toy away from him! He loves attention and really seems grateful that someone is petting him. He is very quiet and well mannered in the house. He sleeps in a kennel at night and when the foster is gone for a couple hours during the day. He goes in the kennel very willingly. But because he's proving to be so trustworthy, he soon will not have to be kenneled at all. He has not had any accidents in the house. He has been introduced to cats and seemed a bit aggressive towards them but is learning to leave them alone and will listen when told to leave them. He knows some basic obedience and really wants to please his people. He has not been around small children but with his docile nature, it should not be an issue. He wags his tail at everyone he sees. Overall, he's a quiet and content dog who genuinely seems so happy to be in a home. Maverick is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed and size when grown.
All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday April 30, 2016, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
