Meet your new best friend, Maverick – this week’s Adoptable Dog of the Week!

Maverick, a 1-year-old male mixed breed, is available for adoption at the Potter League for Animals Animal Care & Adoption Center in Middletown.

“Maverick is a super handsome boy, and even more super special! He’s all about the soft gazes and gentle face licks,” the Potter League for Animals shares on its website. “He’s more of a shy man around new people, and he likes to be allowed to warm up. Once he does, he’s cuddly, he’s affectionate, and oh-so snuggly! Maverick loves other dogs, especially larger dogs, and is very playful! Maverick has a heartworm condition currently being treated here, and will require ongoing care in the coming months, which will be provided here”.
