About this Dog
Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Maverick! Maverick is a 1-year-old Newfoundland/Lab mix who weighs 98 pounds. Maverick was brought into the Hesperia shelter and surrendered over the counter as a stray on July 15. We’re not here to judge, but it’s always fascinating how a male dog, a lactating mother and nine nursing puppies can just “turn up” on a street corner. We believe Maverick is the Prince Charming to our Gemma, who will be available for adoption once her puppies are weaned and ready for homes of their own. When we called the shelter to arrange pickup for Gemma and her pups, we learned about Maverick. And since we have a rule here—no one gets left behind—he got a freedom ride too! Maverick is a very sweet boy. He’s a little shy at first, but absolutely gorgeous and incredibly gentle. He walks beautifully on a leash and is a true gentle giant who just wants to be near you, in your lap, or leaning into you for affection. He loves attention and has a heart full of love to give. If interested in meeting Maverick, please fill out an application at www.labradorsandfriends.org Maverick is located in Southern California.

Adopt Maverick and Receive Maverick's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Maverick's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Maverick's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Maverick, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maverick's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Maverick was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Maverick’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Maverick’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Maverick’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
