Story
Maynard is an almost 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who just wants to hang! Weighing about 50 pounds, he’s incredibly social and genuinely loves meeting new people, greeting strangers like old friends who just haven’t gotten enough hugs yet.When he first arrived to his foster home, he warmed up immediately in full cuddle buddy mode. Maynard is fully house-trained, happily sticking to a potty routine and sleeping in his crate peacefully for 8–9 hours. He doesn’t love being left alone, but with a frozen treat and calming music, he settles just fine. He does best in a home where someone is around often and can give him the affection and closeness he craves. Due to his noise level, he cannot live in homes with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).Maynard LOVES his walks more than just about anything, and two short walks a day are all he needs to stay happy. He also has a hilarious independent streak and can fully entertain himself with strong chew toys, rolling on the couch, and playing solo games of catch.With other dogs, Maynard is curious and social. If he spots a dog across the street, he may pause and bark, but overall he’s friendly and interested rather than reactive. He does not have experience with cats so a proper introduction would be needed. Around kids, he has done well with a visiting 12-year-old.Maynard is easy-to-love and would love being part of a family.
