"MAVERICK" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"

 Shelter ID: 106506 Breed:  German Shepherd Dog/Siberian Husky

neutered male 2 yrs 64 lbs adoption fee $210

Description: Maverick is a big, lovable boy who is always ready for an adventure! This approximately 2-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix weighs around 64 pounds and is an affectionate, excitable guy who loves being outside and having fun. He has a lot of enthusiasm for life, and his new family will need to be ready to help him channel that energy in positive ways. He would benefit greatly from continued basic training, positive reinforcement, and opportunities to learn how to settle and make good choices. He is still learning how to appropriately read other dogs' body language, so his ideal home will not include other dogs. He has done well in controlled situations, but he doesn't always recognize when another dog is asking him to back off or settle down. With patience, consistency, and the right guidance, Maverick has all the makings of a wonderful companion!

1. Maverick is not recommended to live with other dogs currently. He is still learning how to appropriately read canine body language and can become overly excited when interacting with other dogs. He has done well in controlled environments, but his new family should understand that he needs continued guidance and positive, structured experiences around other dogs.

2. We're unsure how Maverick is with cats or other small animals, so we recommend careful introductions and appropriate supervision if he will encounter them. His family should be prepared to manage introductions thoughtfully and give him time to learn what is expected.

3. Maverick is a big, enthusiastic boy, so we are recommending a home with kids 13+. He can get very excited, and his size and energy could be a lot for younger children. Older kids who are comfortable around a large, energetic dog and can participate in calm, appropriate interactions would be a better fit.

4. Maverick would absolutely benefit from basic training and continued positive reinforcement. He is a smart, active boy who needs help learning when it's time to play and when it's time to settle. His family should provide plenty of appropriate exercise, enrichment, and structured activities while also teaching him how to relax. If you're looking for a big-hearted, fun-loving companion and are ready to help Maverick continue learning and growing, he may be your guy!
