Maverick Boston Terrier & Australian Shepherd Mix Chiefland, FL

Maverick is a 4 1/2 year old boston terrier/australian shepherd mix, from what we were told. He is medium sized and weighed 33 pounds at his vet visit on 12/17/20. Maverick is shy and a bit fearful in new situations and with new people but he warms up within a few days.and then wants to be everywhere that you are. Maverick does not like small children, according to his previous owner and that was one reason that she had to surrender him. She ran a daycare and Maverick just didnt warm up to the loud noises and sudden movements that young children make. Maverick has no issues with other dogs and cats are unknown. Maverick does have a cherry eye, which you can see in his picture but vet says that it is mostly a cosmetic issue and that repairing it can sometimes cause dry eye it does not bother him and is a fairly small one. Overall, Maverick is a healthy boy. He would do best in a home with older,children and/or adults. People who can give him his space and the time to adjust to his new surroundings without forcing themselves on him. Maverick does walk on a leash but does pull some. He is pretty strong considering his size. Maverick also likes to ride and will jump right into the vehicle. He does not like his nails trimmed or getting a rectal temperature (he did have to be muzzled by the vet for both of these procedures). Maverick will do really well with someone who can be home with him most of the time. Mavericks adoption fee will be $175 and will help to cover his cost of care while with us. If interested in giving Maverick his forever home, please submit your interest and adoption application or text ONLY to (352)215-3260 (phone calls will not be returned or answered at this number) for more information.
