Maverick's Story

Meet Maverick and Leo! Maverick (Skinny) is extroverted, quick to adapt, very level headed, patient and enjoys being surrounded by people and other animals. He gently encourages being picked up and lets you know when it's time to play. He can be a trouble maker when conditions are right. Leo (Chunky) is more introverted and sensitive, but just as sweet. He is a big and strong baby that follows in Maverick's footsteps and keeps an eye on his brother to make sure he's safe. He doesn't enjoy being picked up but will tolerate it for a minute. The duo would do very well around kids, strangers and other quiet animals. They are both litter box trained and do not scratch furniture. They both love wet food and prefer shreds over pate.
