Story
Maverick is a male Husky mixed doggy who is about 3 years old.Unfortunately his owner couldn't care for him anymore so had to surrender him.He can be a bit of a nervous guy, so he may take some time to warm up and show you his true personality. But once he’s comfortable, he enjoys being petted, loved on, and spending time with his people.Maverick isn't necessarily the type to shower you with kisses or constantly seek out affection, but that doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate it! He simply has his own way of showing you that he enjoys your company.This handsome boy needs a family who will let him go at his own pace, celebrate the little moments, and give him the confidence he needs to blossom. Sometimes the quieter connections are the most rewarding.I'm described as a 'Constant Companion'. Looking for an emotionally secure, mutually satisfying, low maintenance relationship? I am all you need. Let me sit at your feet, walk by your side, and I’ll be your devoted companion forever.
