Hi, I’m Maverick! True to my name, I’m a Top Gun kind of guy. My smile is contagious, and I know just how to light up a room with all the love I have to share! I can’t help but want to make my humans happy, whether it be quickly catching on to new tricks and behaviors or snuggling up all day to keep you warm. I’m still learning some manners, but I’m quickly mastering the basics (sit, down, come, and wait). I can’t wait for someone to become my best adventure buddy and sidekick!
I have lots of energy for our adventures, and I’ll put my whole body into everything! For this reason I may not be best with small children – I’m still learning how to communicate my love for you without using my entire body. I would be so sad if I accidently knocked kids over, but I just want to show how much I love you!
My foster family says I’m a goofball; I’m playful and affectionate with humans and dogs alike. I like to keep busy with toys and bones, and am happy to keep my focus on those rather than household items. My people are working hard to make sure I don’t chew things I’m not supposed to, so I am really hoping my forever home has lots of toys for me – hey maybe you have puzzle toys and kongs for me? I would love a good challenge!
I’m still working on my patience while on leashes and in cars, but with time I’ll be sure to master these adventures as well! I’m potty trained and crate trained, and only bark during noisy situations (but I’m learning that vacuums and hair dryers are my friend).
I know when we go to puppy school together we will be a great team and learn so many new things to help us both thrive! Going to puppy school will give us a chance to bond and socialize with other dogs and people. I am a very SMART and curious puppy that will thrive with additional training and exposure to new things.
Are you ready for your own little Tom-Cruise-Maverick, keeping you laughing and smiling for days to come? I’m your guy! Get ready for an adventure!
I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.

ADOPTION EVENTS:
Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. You may wish to consider applying and setting up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved.
ADOPTION PROCEDURE:
FOSTER CARE:
All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications and fill out a foster application.
NUTRITION:
Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
