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 do get excited in the car and am a little reactive - we will need to work on some training so I know it is ok. 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).
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!
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
