Story
Meet Maverick 🐾
If you're looking for a handsome, loyal, fun-loving pal look no further! Meet Mav, Mavy or (when you really want his attention) Maverick! The goofiest, smartest boy around!
This tall, dark and handsome boy enjoys long walks on the beach, rolling in grass, cuddles, puzzle games, eating wood chips, naps and above all, fetch! He is the kinda guy that is keen to run around with you one minute and rot on the couch the next - truly a best of both worlds kind of dog.
At one and a half, Mav has a lot of puppy silliness in him, but with the listening skills and stoicism of an adult. This studious boy can do it all trick wise and is always keen to learn more, in fact he thrives on it!
Maverick is crate trained, but has also done great when left out alone (during the day and night). He loves a car ride, with his giant tongue (great for sneaky kisses) and head out the window. He is great with people but shows his best self when introduced calmly. He lets you know when he needs to go out but also thrives on a good routine of outside time. He walks best on a halty and will do anything for a treat, but don't worry! He also knows boundaries when it comes to food and doesn't resource guard.
Because of his lack of early socialization, Maverick can get a little reactive on leash when he sees other dogs. But here's the truth: he's been working hard on this, and with consistency and a confident person to guide him, he continues to improve. When it comes to doggy friends, Maverick does best with proper introductions, and once he has them, he can absolutely enjoy the right canine buddy by his side. This is skill he needs to work on but he's showing great progress!
Maverick's best home would be one without cats. While we haven't allowed him the chance to chase, his instincts suggest that temptation may be there.
His ideal day? A nice big morning walk, followed by breakfast and some snuggles. A couple mid day pee breaks if you're home (he's okay until you get home if not) and some more play time and pets. If you're feeling fancy, a swim is always his idea of a good time. Then an evening of supper and another walk, of course ending with some good snoozes on the couch.
A true diva 💅🏼 Mavy loves being brushed, facials (aka face gentle face pets) and getting his nails done (clipped) - gotta keep up appearances. He's truly the best boy, and is looking for a forever home that has the time and patience to give cuddles, let him sniff walk and roll in some nice, lush grass.
Maverick is the complete package and is beloved by all those that meet him. Apply today to see for yourself 🌞
