Maverick’s Story ♡

When Maverick came into rescue in August 2026, he was extremely sick and underweight. He had severe mange, skin and yeast infections, infected paws, ear and eye infections, and a severe case of kennel cough. He needed extensive veterinary attention, ongoing medication, skin care, and patient daily support before he could begin feeling like a healthy puppy.

Today Mavi is a fun, affectionate young dog who loves walks, playtime, squeaky balls, and staying close to his person. He has learned daily routines and important cues including sit, down, stay, come, and look. He is still a young, energetic dog, and his forever family should be ready for puppy playfulness and continued training.

Maverick also required veterinary care after the September boarding stay for gastrointestinal parasites and skin issues. He continues to need his veterinarian-prescribed skin/allergy care. Supporting Mavi means helping both his ongoing recovery and the active, curious dog he has become.

Care & Medical Journey ♡

Maverick arrived with severe mange, skin and yeast infections, infected paws, ear and eye infections, and severe kennel cough. He required veterinary care and a consistent recovery routine. After the September boarding stay, he needed additional care for gastrointestinal parasites and recurring skin concerns. His ongoing care includes prescribed Zenrelia and topical skin treatments as directed by his veterinarian. His dramatic recovery is still supported by daily attention and care.
