We are looking for a very special person to welcome our sweet boy Maverick into their home, either as a forever home or a long-term foster.
Maverick won’t ask for much. He is the sweetest, gentlest, quietest dog who would love nothing more than to sleep in a cozy bed and to feel loved. We say he is more like a house cat than a dog! He is great at tucking himself in to bed and loves being completely under the covers. He would also be a happy boy if you’d give him treats and rub his belly. Maverick is also very comfortable being held, and is extremely trusting.
This gentle soul has a few special needs. As you might notice from the photos, he has glaucoma meaning there is pressure built up behind his eyes, so he is blind. If you could be patient with him as he learns his way around, he would appreciate it, but in the meantime he is still happy to go outside and sniff the good smells, and go for leisurely walks. He will also hold his bladder until he knows he is outside.
Maverick gets along with other dogs and all humans. Chances are good that he’d be fine with cats too since he’s lived with them before and most likely wouldn’t even notice them. We think he is about 7 years old and about 15 pounds.
So, here’s what we’re hoping to find for our sweet Maverick. Adoption would be amazing. A close second to that would be someone who would foster him, potentially for a long time, so he can know the love and warmth of a home. We would be happy to talk with you about what the foster process is like at Rocket Dog, specifically for special needs pups. Just fill out an application. A volunteer will get back to you very soon.
