Maverick - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Hamilton, Ohio

Maverick is an energetic, goofy boy who is still building confidence in new situations. He was a little fearful when it came time to leash him and needed some encouragement to come inside, but once he was out and moving, he was ready to explore. On walks, he tends to pull on the leash and occasionally grab or bite at it when excited.

Maverick has a fun, slightly goofy personality and can be a bit of a space cadet at times. While he seems interested in toys and wants to engage with them, he also appears unsure and a little intimidated by them, making for some amusing and endearing interactions.

This handsome guy knows the "sit" command and absolutely loves treats. He can get a little sharky when he's excited about snacks, but his enthusiasm is all part of his charm.

Maverick did very well with full-body handling and allowed touching of his paws, ears, tail, and body without issue. He seemed more curious than concerned, wondering why all the attention was focused on him.

Maverick is looking for an active home that can help build his confidence while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. With a little patience and guidance, this sweet, energetic boy is sure to thrive.


Maverick was an owner surrender and came in with his sister, Nyla.

Breed listings: Please note that Animal Friends recognizes current research showing that the large majority of breed guesses on shelter dogs are inaccurate and that only a small percentage of an animals genetics make up their physical appearance. People visiting the shelter in person or viewing animals on our website will note that all of our dogs are labeled as Mixed Breeds unless they have been DNA tested or are surrendered to the shelter with paperwork. Any potential breeds listed here on PetFinder are not assumed to be accurate and are merely a starting point for people to be able to search for a dog who may visually resemble a breed they are interested in. We feel that the best matches are made based on a dogs individual personality and recommend families come meet our animals in person. Please reach out with any questions!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

Our mission is to promote humane principles, protect lost, homeless, abandoned and mistreated animals, and act as advocates for animals...
