Maverick is a 9 year old Dutch Shepherd Dog in Fort Riley, KS, who needs $914 for Cyst Removal.

He was 11 months old when we adopted him and he has moved with us from North Carolina to Alaska and now to Kansas. Mav is our 15-year-old’s emotional support and he is an energetic goofball who loves playing with his shiz-tu and black cat and orange cat brothers.

Mav is our 15-year-old daughter’s emotional support and steady companion through military life. He has a cyst on each back paw that needs removal to prevent pain and future complications. Wildcat Vet Service in Manhattan, KS estimates $584.80–$914.80, which we can’t afford without help.

Mav is a goofy, lovable dog who keeps us smiling every day. He tries to climb trees after squirrels on hikes, thinks every person is a new friend, and only wants to chase the dog that’s chasing the ball. He’s full of energy, laughter, and love, and he’s the heart of our family.
