Maverick

My story

It breaks my heart to do this, but I’m looking to rehome my dog, Maverick, to the right person or family. Maverick is a 9 year-old prior rescue (birthday October) with a life expectancy of 14-16 years. He’s been with me since he was a pup, and he truly is a loving dog at heart but he’s also a bit complex and needs the right environment to thrive. He is naturally shy and skittish, especially around people. He’s not aggressive at all—just very aloof and prefers to keep his distance. Once he feels safe, his sweet and loyal personality really starts to show. He’s one of those dogs who bonds deeply, just on his own terms. Maverick gets along well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself. He has high anxiety and has had professional training, which has helped, but he still needs a patient and understanding owner. He is house trained and leashed trained. Describe him: Stubborn but intelligent, timid but tough, Loving but independent. Doesn't like his paws touched.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Maverick, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
