Maynard – Chocolate Male – 16 months – 53 lbs.
Maynard says woof! Maynard loves the mountains and rivers of the Sierras. He is enthralled with everyone and everything he meets. His face will charm the treats right out of your pocket.
Yosemite lore has it that a chocolate lab named Choco was visiting and found a beautiful red fox named Honey. Maynard, alias Choco Jr., was the result. Maynard has a lovely, shiny, chocolate coat inherited from his father and a gorgeous reddish, bushy tail thanks to his mom, Honey. True to his foxy origins, he is extremely curious, bouncy when he runs, and he loves to play.
Choco, Jr., (Maynard) is good with other dogs and kids. It is unknown how he is with cats but there are stories of cats and foxes becoming friends, so who knows. He does not seem to shed very much fur. He loves chew toys and stuffed toys but unfortunately, they don’t seem to have a long life.
Maynard likes going for walks on a leash and enjoys getting caught in the rain but he has never had a pina colada. He likes riding in a car with the wind blowing through his handsome fur. His lab genes come out at dinner time, and he thoroughly enjoys his food and any treats that he is awarded. In a very short time, he has learned to sit and is working on stay, shake, off, and down. Choco, Jr., is not a stay in the house all day kind of dog, he loves being outside where he can explore and fill his curious mind with a variety of sights and sounds. Maynard was previously allowed to roam and unfortunately ended up in doggie jail. For his safety, he will need a secure fence with gates that latch properly in his new home.
Maynard enjoys playing with other dogs and has shown zero aggression. He is content to sleep in his crate all night. Whether you call him Choco, Jr. or Maynard, he is happy to run to you and snuggle and be petted. He is a very loving, high energy, sweet boy that will be a fantastic addition to an active family where he can have daily companionship and share his joy for life!
