My name is Maverick!

Maybelline would be out of business if women had naturally gorgeous eyes like this. This is Maverick a two-year-old 67 pound Boxer/Black Mouth Cur mix. He was surrendered to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/17. The reason stated is that the owners were moving! It may be for the best though, because the previous owner stated, and it’s obvious, that he was an outdoor dog. He has concrete calluses on his elbows and his rear, fly bites on his ears, and his ribs are showing. Dogs are social creatures, and Maverick is no exception. He loves people and wants to be close to his special people. He sits for treats and takes them gently. His sense of smell is very important to him and he kept his nose to the ground to investigate. He was very patient while I put a scarf on him. He gives lots of kisses. The surrender form said that he was not raised with dogs or cats, but was friendly with dogs. He introduced himself to many dogs going through the bay. He was raised with children from toddlers on up. He was good with them. The surrender form stated that he is housebroken. He did his business as soon as he got out into the yard. Would you like to spend your whole life outside? Well, Maverick didn’t either. He’s looking forward to being an inside dog. This is one great dog! He would love to have well-behaved children to love on!
