Bernese Mountain Dog and Flat Coated Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Maverick is the thoughtful one of the trio, the most cautious at first, but once he decides you’re his person, his whole world opens up. He has truly blossomed in foster care and now happily leans in for booty scratches and full-on belly rub sessions. Once you earn his trust, you’ll have a loyal shadow who soaks up affection.

And let’s talk about his size… Maverick is going to be a BIG boy. When he grabs a toy for a game of tug-of-war, he doesn’t just play, he drags his brothers clear across the yard. He’s strong, confident, and built to grow into a stunning, impressive dog.

Maverick is absolutely beautiful inside and out, a gentle soul with a powerful presence. With a little patience and continued love, he’s going to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.
