Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Maverick! This sweet, friendly boy is the definition of a gentle companion. He has a calm, easygoing personality and absolutely loves being around people—whether he’s following you around the house, curiously checking out what you’re up to, or curling up next to you for some well-earned cuddle time.
Maverick is settling beautifully into family life and adjusts quickly to new routines. He’s currently working on gaining a few pounds and is doing great with regular meals and care. He’s already potty trained and is doing very well with crate training, making him an easy addition to a home looking for a smooth transition.

He has a naturally curious side that keeps things fun, but he balances it perfectly with his relaxed, affectionate nature. Maverick enjoys exploring his surroundings just as much as he enjoys quiet time with his people.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog who will fit right into your home and your heart, Maverick is ready to meet you.

Maverick is estimated to be 6 months old and 38 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/

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.
