About this Dog
Date into Rescue: 5/14/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Surrendered to a shelter by his owners Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Maverick is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Maverick is a doodle. We will never guarantee that a doodle is hypoallergenic or that they won't shed. Weight: 72 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Not required, but a fenced yard is a great safety feature for a big guy like Maverick. Please note Maverick has never lived without the freedom and safety of a physically fenced yard. If you don't have a physically fenced yard, you need a plan for LOTS of daily exercise as this will be a big adjustment for him. What kind of home would be best for me? Maverick is great with dogs of all sizes, though he admittedly tends to gravitate toward the big ones who can keep up with his linebacker energy. As for humans - He loves them ALL—grown-ups, toddlers, teens, mail carriers—you name it. He thinks children are absolutely amazing, but he’ll need a bit of guidance on how not to enthusiastically launch himself into their arms like an overexcited boulder of fluff. We’re working on it. He’s trying. Due to his size and energy level, Maverick isn’t a fit for apartment or townhome living. He would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can run, play, and burn off energy safely. He’d enjoy romping around with another playful dog or with older children. Because he can be exuberant and strong, we recommend a home with kids aged 8 and up, just to avoid accidental knockdowns during playtime. Despite his size and boundless joy, Maverick is gentle, kind, and truly the definition of a gentle giant. He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for an adventure buddy, a snuggle partner, and a family that will let him flop on their feet like a weighted blanket with legs. What is my personality like? Meet Maverick – The Giant Teddy Bear with a Linebacker Build and a Marshmallow Heart. If you’ve ever dreamed of snuggling a dog roughly the size of a small sofa, Maverick is your guy. He’s big. He’s fluffy. He’s got enough love in his giant paws to power a whole neighborhood—and he’s ready to share every ounce of it with YOU. Maverick is what we like to call a "joy enthusiast." Every morning - Best morning ever. Every person he meets - Best person ever. Every walk, every meal, every blade of grass - The greatest thing that's ever happened. He lives large, in size and spirit. He knows “sit”, but with a face like his, you’ll probably give him what he wants before he finishes the motion. Leashes are… a bit of a work in progress. He gets it, he just doesn’t totally understand why walking in a straight line is such a big deal. But he’s eager to learn and very motivated by praise, pets, and snacks. If you’re ready for a life full of laughs, loyalty, and a dog who gives bear hugs with his whole body, Maverick is waiting to meet you. Warning: once you let him into your heart, you'll never get the fur out of your clothes again—but you won’t mind one bit. How do I act when I first meet new people? Maverick is people-friendly, warms up quickly and is eager to bond with you. Other tips and tidbits: Maverick was born on 4/29/2022. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Maverick May 25, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maverick May 25's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Maverick May 25 was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Maverick May 25’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Maverick May 25’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Maverick May 25’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
