ADOPTED – MAVRIK

Male, ~11 Months, 42 lbs

Meet MAVRIK!!

MAVRIK is a handsome, approximately 11 month old 42 pound, black and white smooth coat Border collie mix. He is likely mixed with black lab. He has big brown eyes, soft ears and a tail that wags endlessly. He is a very smart, happy, loving pup looking for his forever home. He loves everybody. He loves walks, playing with his toys and did I say treats? He is very food and praise motivated. “Good boy” and a chest scratch is a close second to a little treat. He is a puppy, behaves likes a puppy, eager to please, but still wants to jump and play, you know, those normal puppy things. He is a quick learner; knows sit, shake or paws most of the time. Loves walks!! Is easily distracted by all the sites, i.e. dogs, people. He wants to say hello to everyone. He seems more interested in the person than the dog. He knows a firm “sit” means “I am supposed to hang out by foster mom and just wag my tail until the distraction (i.e. person, dog) passes.”

MAVRIK loves walks. He is not bothered by cars or trucks. He wants to say hello to everyone! MAVRIK would likely do equally as well as an only dog or as part of a pair of dogs or more. MAVRIK in general is not a barker. He does get excited and barks through the fence when the next door neighbor dog is also outside.

He sleeps quietly through the night; his crate is his nighttime and naptime castle. He will go inside his crate and wait for treats. MAVIRK potties well outside. He does not have free range in his foster home. Has not marked in his foster home, but is supervised when checking things out. He travels well in a crate in the car.

MAVRIK is micro-chipped, spayed, heart worm negative and on preventative, and up to date on vaccinations.
