Good with small dogs? Yes, but I think Iām about their size too.
Good with big dogs? Yes, but I donāt realize Iām a giant.
Good with cats?: Has not been cat tested.
Good with kids?: I donāt realize how big I am and tend to jump up for hugs and try to give kisses. Because of my size, foster mom says I might accidentally knock someone over. She thinks I should be around teenagers or older, and not around anyone who is medically fragile.
Any medical issues?: Well… I got nosy and ate some rat poison, so I was taken to the emergency vet. They kept me there and said I now have a UTI, but Iām almost done with my antibiotics. Foster Mom says my peeing is much better now compared to when I first arrived.
Crate trained?: Working on it.
House trained?: Yes.
Heartworms?: No.
4/5/2026: Meet Maverick (aka the Gentle Giant) š¾ā¤
Hi, Iām Maverickāyour oversized cuddle buddy in a dog suit. Foster Mom calls me a gentle giant, and sheās not wrongā¦ Iām a really big boy with an even bigger heart.
My love language is hugs and sloppy kisses. Whether you request them isā¦ adorable, but optional. Youāre probably getting them anyway.
Confession: I jump up a lot when Iām excited. Iām practicing something Foster Mom calls ā4 on the floorā (ughā¦ she says it a LOT). Iām trying, I promiseāI just get so happy my feet forget the rules.
Also, Iām kind of the male version of a diva. If Iām not ready to eat, I might kick my food bowl over and then stare at you like, āWe can try this again later.ā Foster Mom keeps upgrading my bowl like itās a reality show called Americaās Next Top Un-tippable Dish.
When my foster family went on vacation, I went to a doggie vacation spot too. At first, I barked and growled because I was nervous (my size can make people nervous, and I pick up on that). But once I realized the staff were nice, I relaxedāand when Foster Mom came back, they said I was a very good boy with no issues. I did the same thing at the vet: I tried to look like a big āmeannnn guyāā¦ then I sniffed a hand and decided we were immediately friends.
Foster Mom says Iām going to the vet soon to get neutered, and then I should be officially ready to find my forever family. Personally, I feel ready right nowāIāve got hugs to give and couches to conquer.
Right now, I live in a foster house thatās basically a zoo: a kid (a short fella), two grown-ups, and four other dogs. I fit right in because, yes, I have a crazy side too. The kid isnāt a fan of my surprise hugsāone time I got excited and jumped on him, so Foster Mom keeps me separated from him now. Iād love a chance to apologize with a respectful sniff and a gentle kiss, but Iām listening to Foster Momās rules.
The adults? They mostly just laugh at me. I also believe in taking the shortest path to anywhereāeven if that means jumping over the couch. Why walk around when I can go over?
Maverick at a glance:
- Size: Big boy / gentle giant (I may forget Iām large)
- Personality: Loving, affectionate, goofy, a tiny bit diva
- Training: Working on polite greetings and ā4 on the floorā
- New situations: Might be unsure at first, warms up quickly with calm intros
