About Maverick

Adoption Fee: $75
Great Dane / Lab
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

I acquired Maverick in Georgia from a family that rescues mistreated dogs. He was either chained outside or put in a chain link kennel as a pup. We have lived in Florida, Texas, Kansas and currently Lincoln, NE where I am from. When I first got him (around 6-8 months old) he was scared of anything that moved and was not potty trained or house broken. We went to several trainers to help with his many issues. Being 6 1/2 yeas old now, he is potty trained, house broken (I can leave him out thee entire day and he does not mess with anything) and just loves to lounge. New home? Someone that will be able to love him as we do. Someone that will be able to improve his behavioral skills. He is aggressive towards men and unsure around strangers. He is very protective around those he loves and that will never go away. He is not good with any other animal as he will want dominance and if not shown he will attack. He has bitten one relative who was a male and a stranger to Maverick. He was not provoked, he just does not trust men. Once he warms up to you, he is the most loving dog I have ever seen and anyone would agree. With having another dog in the picture and kids in our future, we do not 100% trust Maverick will be able to handle it. I would love to get Maverick the proper training, but in the end there will still be precautions we will always have to take. I do not want Maverick or myself to always have to worry or be on edge with my fiance's dog or to strangers. I know if someone is able to take Maverick that doesn't have any other animal and improves his behavioral issues he will be the best companion.
