• “Giant bundle of energy always on the go. Love chasing anything that moves but knows the limits“

  — Hunter R.

• “Maverick is a happy, energetic dog who loves to run, play fetch, and explore every corner of a new yard. He is affectionate, curious, and always ready for an adventure, especially if it involves chasing a ball. After he’s had time to burn off some energy, he’s just as happy to relax and soak up attention.“

  — Lacey M.

• “I'm an active water-loving boy! I love to chase squirrels and fetch tennis balls. But I also love exploring new sights, smells and sun-bathing opportunities.“

  — Mykelty S.

• “I love to run to one spot, smell it, run to another spot, smell it. Sometimes I run back to dad to say hi.“

  — Jeffery B.

• “Hello, my name is Maverick! I'm a fun-loving energetic boy, who loves my glow ball more than life itself. Loves to jump on people even when my mom and dad tell me to get down. I'm a big cuddle bug, who hogs the bed. I'm a bit needy and have separation anxiety, but that's because I love my dad and mom so much, and I don't like it when they leave without me.“

  — Jeremy T.

• “Mav is my rescue boy who is so sweet and incredibly smart. As a puppy he was sick and was not able to be socialized, so he is very shy around new people but generally enjoys other dogs. We’ve done a lot of training with him, he LOVES canicross, running around and most herding type behaviors in general.“

  — Jamie H.

• “Maverick is a 5 month old german shepherd/Husky puppy, looking to make new friends to keep his socialization skills intact!“

  — Heather A.

• “My name is Maverick & I am a 10 month old Goldendoodle puppy. I am very friendly, I love to play with other dogs and I have lots of energy at first. My favorite thing to do is play fetch and tug of war. I am a big fluff ball that loves attention. My favorite tricks I can do are high fives and hugs 😊 Let’s be dog friends; we can run, play and even take a nap together 🐶🐾“

  — Amanda M.

• “I'm Maverick. I love to chase, be chased and to explore. I don't really like other dogs and cats. I love humans! I like my toys and being loved on by humans. I'm an Anatolian shepherd mix, so I protect my home and family.“

  — Jacqueline M.

• “Hi! I’m Maverick. I’m a fun-loving Dalmatian with endless energy and a heart full of adventure. I may be deaf, but that doesn’t slow me down one bit! I love exploring, sniffing everything on our walks, and being wherever my people are. I’m curious, playful, and always ready for my next adventure. Nice to meet you!“

  — Candace T.

• “I’m a ball crazy playing fool and don’t you dare touch a ball you don’t intend to throw. I’m pretty laid back and don’t need any company to have fun. I’m not as confident as my brother who constantly annoys me and steals my toys but if you want loyalty, here I am.“

  — Michelle G.

• “I’m Mav, a two year old red fox lab. I love water (especially sprinklers), toys, and peanut butter!“

  — Payton V.

• “Hi I’m Maverick! I’m very vocal, and I love to play. Unfortunately, I don’t have any dog friends because my people are scared to see how it would go. If we meet, I’ll bark but my tail is wagging the entire time. So don’t be scared.“

  — Taylor W.

• “I’m Maverick. My mom named me after a movie she thinks is the best ever. I like zooming and fighting naps. People and other dogs are the best thing ever; I have to meet all of them.“

  — Karen E.

• “He’s a 6 month old black lab that loves to play with other dogs! The sweetest thing but full of energy and wants to play!“

  — Destiny S.
