Pet of the week: Fly high with Maverick!
CULLMAN, Ala. – Maverick, The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week, is a male Husky who is approximately 2 years old. He’s described as a medium-energy, leash-savvy young male who understands personal space. While at the kennel he has exhibited mistaken manners, he’s exceptionally quiet and the time you spend with Maverick is precious, as his personality continues to flourish. He is a water bug and loves spending time in the kiddie pool, but you’ll rarely see him without his small toy tomato. Maverick’s demeanor would be perfect for someone seeking a companion or therapy dog, willing to take on hikes. Please take time to check out Maverick and all the other pets up for adoption at the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 935 Convent Road NE, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Contact the shelter at 256-734-5448 or cullmananimalshelter@co.cullman.al.us for more information.
