Bardeau / Maverick

General Notes | Meet Maverick, a distinguished 8-year-old Yellow Lab who has mastered the art of being the world's most sincere and gentle companion. This handsome "senior" (though he doesn't know it!) has traded his puppy zoomies for a steady, loyal pace and a heart that beats purely for his humans. Maverick is looking for a relaxing retirement home where he can spend his golden years as your most devoted shadow and professional nap partner. Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. <br/><br/>Personality | If you are looking for a happy-go-lucky companion, Maverick is your match. He is always excited to be around humans and does the signature "lab lean" against anyone who will let him. A gentle rub behind the ear, and you have captured Maverick's heart forever. While he may not be as steady on his feet as he used to, Maverick still has plenty of pep in his step. He loves a good walk and his happy tippy taps around the yard will make your heart melt.<br/><br/>Story | <br/><br/>Other Dogs | Maverick gets along just fine with his foster sister, but he is much more interested in playing with his foster humans.<br/><br/>Cats | Unsure<br/><br/>Children | Maverick has met a few children on walks and was very friendly toward them. <br/><br/>Training | Well beyond his rambunctious puppy years, Maverick is a very well behaved boy. He won't chew your stuff. He doesn't need to be crated. And he is not looking for any trouble. At this point in his life, he is not much for trivial tricks; Maverick is looking more for a home where he can just relax. He is unsure of inside stairs and may need some help conquering his fears or a ranch home. <br/><br/>Leash | Maverick loves a good walk, especially when lots of sniffing and peeing are involved. He may pull a bit to keep up with his foster sister, but he is easy to rein in. <br/><br/>Activity Level | Moderate - your typical lab!<br/><br/>Health Notes | "The steps may slow, but the love only deepens." Entering into his senior years, Maverick needs an owner who understands the health needs that can come with old age.<br/><br/>Thank you! | <br/><br/>Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).<br/><br/>Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. <br/><br/>Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
