Maverick
Basenji / Mixed · 4 Years 1 Month · Male · Nashville, TN
Notes from Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue
Meet Maverick!
Maverick is a playful guy who loves chasing toys and will happily keep going long after your throwing arm gives out. He loves kids and is always ready for some fun. Maverick has lived in a home with other dogs and children his entire life
, so he’s very comfortable being part of a busy family.
Maverick isn’t a huge cuddler, but he never turns down a good belly rub and has been becoming more affectionate with his foster family. He lets you know when he needs to go outside and does well on a leash once his initial excitement settles.
Car rides aren’t his favorite, and he may pee when he gets overly excited or thinks he’s in trouble. His foster family is continuing to work with him on building confidence in those situations.
And one of Maverick’s funniest quirks? He has a completely random love for dryer sheets.
Maverick is a fun, playful boy who would love a family ready to keep the toys flying and the belly rubs coming.
