Maverick - Male 2-Year-Old Australian Shepherd for Sale in Macomb County, MI

About Maverick

Maverick is a handsome 1 year-old Australian Shepard with soulful eyes and a heart full of love—just waiting for the right human to give it to. Life hasn’t always been easy for Maverick, and as a result, he struggles with anxiety, especially in new environments or when left alone for too long. But once he bonds with you, he’s fiercely loyal and never far from your side. Mav thrives in a calm, structured environment and needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time. But the reward? A companion who will love you deeply, greet you like a hero every time you walk through the door, and stick by you through thick and thin. This boy has energy to burn and would do best in a home with a large, secure yard where he can run, play, and explore safely. He’s not a fan of long hours alone—Maverick really flourishes when he has company and a routine. If you work from home or have a flexible schedule, he’d be thrilled to be your new coworker (though he might snore through your Zoom calls). Maverick is great with other dogs, although sometimes he doesn’t understand boundaries. He hasn’t spent much time around young children, but when he has, he has been great other than the occasional jump on them because he doesn’t understand how little they are. Transitions can be tough for him, and he does need time and patience to adjust to new environments. Ultimately, the decision to rehome him has not been easy, but he deserves a companion who can spend more time with him and a bigger yard/more space for him to be a dog!
