About Maverick

This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $300 plus transport fee for out of state adoptions. Meet marvelous Maverick, the ultimate survivor! This amazing 5-month-old purebred Australian Cattle Dog puppy weighs just 26 pounds, but his big personality makes him seem like a larger dog. Maverick was previously hit by a car and suffered multiple fractures and trauma that required several surgeries. His injuries have been tended to, and he is a happy, outgoing little man, in spite of his rough start. He does have a limp when he walks or runs, but he doesn't let that slow him down much - in fact, he always looks like he is smiling! This outgoing guy gets along well with other dogs, and loves to play! Other dogs should have similar energy level or be very tolerant of Heeler puppy shenanigans. He likes cats also, but they typically don't appreciate his play style. He'll play with toys, with people, other dogs...he even loves to play in water. He'll happily splash around in a kiddie pool, and even plays in his water dish sometimes! Maverick is a quick learner and is easily motivated with treats. He is crate trained and is working hard on potty training. He knows basic commands and is getting the hang of leash walking. He also rides great in the car. Maverick's cattle dog instincts are strong! He will try to herd by biting, and because of this, he would do best in a home with adults only. Ideally, his forever family would have prior experience with the Cattle Dog breed and is ready to take on this energetic, nippy boy. Maverick needs a fenced yard to play in, or a family who will exercise him several times each day. Although he is very active, when properly exercised, he does settle down nicely for cuddles with his people or naps in his crate. If you think that Maverick sounds like a match for your family, contact us today for more information!
