Maverick - Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dog Available for Adoption in Cottonwood, California

MAVERICK is about 6 months old, a little shy, is getting used to being around cats. We rescued him from a Homeless camp where dogs ran all over. He is very sweet, a little food aggressive because he wasn't fed regularly. They ate dirt and weeds, it was very sad. Once he knows that he will be fed every single day I'm sure that will wash away. He is very sweet and trusting, small, only about 10 lbs.
