Adorable Rescue Puppy Seeks Loving Home After Being Left Tied to Fence in Edmonton

Pet Rehoming Network Helps Maverick the Aussie Heeler Mix Start Over

EDMONTON, AB – July 3, 2025 — A resilient 4.5-month-old Australian Shepherd and Heeler mix named Maverick is searching for his forever home after being rescued from heartbreaking neglect.

Found tied to a fence and abandoned, Maverick was malnourished and left without proper socialization. But thanks to the care of a compassionate foster parent in Edmonton, this spirited puppy is thriving—and ready to offer unconditional love to a family who will never let him go.

“He’s one of the most loving dogs I’ve ever met,” says Lauren, Maverick’s foster mom. “Despite everything he’s been through, he’s just full of joy and trust. He follows me from room to room and just wants to be close. Whoever adopts him is going to be incredibly lucky.”

Deborah Moore, Senior Pet Rehoming Coordinator at Pet Rehoming Network, agrees. “Maverick could’ve shut down. Instead, he blossomed. He’s affectionate, goofy, and absolutely adores people. He’s the kind of dog who senses your mood and snuggles in when you need him most.”

Since entering foster care, Maverick has proven to be housebroken, crate trained, and eager to learn. He loves children, plays a mean game of fetch, and gives out kisses like it’s his job. While he requires slow introductions to other dogs and a chicken-free diet due to a suspected allergy, he has no major behavioral or health issues.

Because of his working breed background, Maverick would do best in a home with a large fenced yard—or ideally, on an acreage—where he can run, play, and be an integral part of daily life.

Pet Rehoming Network is actively promoting Maverick’s adoption story across social media and pet-loving communities throughout Edmonton and the surrounding areas, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, Beaumont, Spruce Grove, and more.
