History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.
A Note from the Foster: I’m Maverick, or as my foster parents call me, Big Boy. I am such a sweetheart and act like a teddy bear- big and sweet. I play so nicely with my foster brothers and then like to lay down to chew a bone. I haven’t mastered laying down to get belly rubs…my back legs stay staring and my front legs go down…my foster mom says I’m like a pretzel when I do that. But, I could get pets all day long! I am a big guy but my body is full of love and playfulness.
My typical day looks like waking up, going potty outside, eating breakfast, going potty, playing with my foster brothers, resting, going potty outside, playing with more chew toys, eating dinner, and more playing. I like being outside in the cold as my coat gets warm.
I am working on leash training and lay down. I already know sit, treats are delicious! I like praise and pets even more than treats though. I had a few accidents when I first arrived at my foster parents house as the house smelled like other dogs but know to go potty outside now.
I really want to meet you and find my forever home! You’ll see I’m such a good boy and am eager to please. My foster parents are happy to coordinate a time for me to meet you!

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
