Maverick Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Bradenton, FL

Maverick is a very sweet 7 yr. old, 55 lb., neutered, Australian Cattle Dog mix. He was owner surrendered in Dec. 2023 because his family was moving and unable to take him. The shelter said the family had children and he got along well with them, but he has not been tested with children. As of Jan. 22, he moved into foster care in Gainesville, FL. He is crate trained, housetrained and easy on the leash. He looks forward to our morning and evening strolls around the neighborhood. Maverick responds to sit, stay, shake hands and down. He always waits for approval before coming into the house. His owners indicated he had obedience and agility training. He is well behaved inside our house. He is currently living with a small 14 yr old, female, Terrier/Spaniel mix. He is not food aggressive, and he is gentle when taking treats. He loves to cuddle, get belly scratches and play with his toys. Maverick is up to date on all vaccines, but he did test Heartworm Positive and then had an adverse reaction to the first Melarsomine injection. Treatment will now require that he be on a strict monthly heartworm prevention pill and have follow-up testing in Sept. Any new adopter will receive 3 months of medication to get started. If you'd like more information on Maverick, or to schedule a Meet and Greet, please contact ewenityfarmsbch.com and consider filling out an application to adopt and give this sweetheart the furever home he deserves!
