Story

We adopted Maverick from SPCA when he was 2 months old. He is now 1 year, 11months and will turn 2 years old on 12/12/2024. We are looking for Maverick to have the space he deserves. He is energetic, loves to run, and play with soccer balls. He enjoys baths and going to the dog parks to chase all the other dogs. He is not aggressive, but is playful and waits for any dog to match his love to run and play. When he is inside, he loves to nap under the bed or near the heater. He is crate trained and house trained, with no accidents inside. He is not a barker, will only bark when necessary. He is great around kids of all ages from 1 year old to 10 years old, he has experience with kids and loves to be pet by them.

Story

CHe needs a home where he can go on adventures, run, play and be loved on and adored. I worry that my home can’t be that for him anymore - and while my heart is breaking as I write this - I fear that this is the best choice for his mental space. There would be a zero cost rehoming fee. His shots are up to date. We can provide everything we have for him, crate, bed, food, treats, toys, toy bin. He’s been through various training courses in basic training and agility. When he’s feeling secure and safe he is the sweetest soul you’ll ever meet. The rehoming is simply to cover the cost of using this platform.
