MAVERICK - NEWFOUNDLAND DOG / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Newfoundland Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (long coat). Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Maverick! Maverick is a 1-year-old Newfoundland/Lab mix who weighs 98 pounds. Maverick was brought into the Hesperia shelter and surrendered over the counter as a stray on July 15. We’re not here to judge, but it’s always fascinating how a male dog, a lactating mother and nine nursing puppies can just “turn up” on a street corner. We believe Maverick is the Prince Charming to our Gemma, who will be available for adoption once her puppies are weaned and ready for homes of their own. When we called the shelter to arrange pickup for Gemma and her pups, we learned about Maverick. And since we have a rule here—no one gets left behind—he got a freedom ride too! Maverick is a very sweet boy. He’s a little shy at first, but absolutely gorgeous and incredibly gentle. He walks beautifully on a leash and is a true gentle giant who just wants to be near you, in your lap, or leaning into you for affection. He loves attention and has a heart full of love to give. If interested in meeting Maverick, please fill out an application at .labradorsandfriends Maverick is located in Southern California.
