Meet Maverick, the 70-pound chocolate Lab who’s got a heart as big as his appetite for snuggles! Almost 2 years old and bursting with love, this guy is ready to be your best friend, workout buddy, and professional bed hog. Maverick's morning routine includes an enthusiastic wake-up call for anyone daring to sleep in, followed by breakfast and some backyard antics. He loves joining the school drop-off crew and considers himself an unofficial mascot, soaking up attention from kids and parents alike. At home, he’s a perfect sous-chef (from a safe distance, of course) and a dedicated dinner supervisor. Though he once protested his crate at night, he’s now found his happy place snuggled up with his foster family's youngest son—because what's a good night’s sleep without a big Lab by your side?
Maverick is the definition of a happy-go-lucky pup, full of energy and ready to play with anyone—dog, human, or even a curious cat. He’s the life of the party when it's playtime, especially with his energetic four-legged foster sister, but knows how to tone it down when hanging with older, more distinguished doggy friends. Maverick is smart and food-motivated, making training a breeze (as long as treats are involved). He’s currently mastering sit, down, come, and the fine art of not pulling like a sled dog on walks. While his table manners are still a work in progress, his charming personality and signature belly-up snuggle position will have you forgiving him instantly.
If you're looking for a sweet, goofy, people-loving pup who’s equal parts cuddle bug and adventure buddy, Maverick is your guy! He’s fantastic with kids, great with dogs, and has lived with cats before—though he might be a bit much for tiny humans who aren’t 'Lab-proof.' Maverick is house-trained and keeps a watchful eye on the house, letting you know when visitors arrive (but never being a nuisance barker). Whether he's flopping onto you for belly rubs or kneading the air with his paws in pure bliss, Maverick is guaranteed to fill your home with love, laughter, and a whole lot of tail wags!
Maverick is an option for a home with dog experience. If there are kids they need to be knock over proof and at least 5 years old.
