About

Maverick

Mav is an affectionate male golden retriever who loves with his whole heart. He is fun and playful, fetching and running outdoors, but his favorite place is on the sofa. He is that typical kiddo who follows you from room to room, always checking in, and he gets along well with other dogs and humans. Mav likes tug-o-war and he play growls, so a dog sibling would work for him, but he would do great as an only dog, too. He needs a home that will allow him to play in the yard, but will also need daily exercise. Mav must have a fenced yard at his new home and a pool might be right up his alley! His carefree spirit reminds us to stay young and he makes us laugh everyday.
