My name is Maverick!

We adopted Maverick from a shelter when he was a puppy. We had wanted a second dog to play with our first dog, a micro-mini golden doodle. While the dogs tolerate each other, their play style and even demeanors are totally different, to the point where our golden doodle won’t play when Maverick is around. Maverick needs a larger dog to be his companion. He LOVES playing with other dogs, but sadly our first dog isn’t really into the way he plays. We also have two cats who have become stressed out by him. He loves the cats, but he barks at them “playing” with them, and they don’t like it. As we had all three of these other pets before Maverick, it’s just not fair to the others to be in a situation with another family member that they don’t feel happy with. We love him, he’s an absolute joy to have, but he belongs somewhere he can play with another young dog who can match his energy.
