Maverick has been in treatment for ITP ( Immune Thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by a dangerously low platelet count  caused by the immune system destroying platelets) since he came into rescue in September 2025 as a sweet but emaciated pup.

He tolerates his paednisone  treatment well and the finish line to remission is in sight.

Maverick will however always have to be monitored with anticipated need for simple bloodwork to check his platelets every 6 months. He may benefit from titer testing and less vaccines in the future. 

He is a good boy and a favorite of all the vet tech.

This 3 year old boy is fun and active. He did great with his first foster family that had young boys with whom he could run around all day. 

Most of all Maverick wants to be a normal Malinois and run after a ball all day.

Mav came into rescue as an owner surrender when his young owner made bad choices and found himself homeless. Friendly. Lives with cat. Dog friendly. Lived with 5 year old girl and newborn. 

Maverick is currently a medical foster in North East Connecticut near the Massachusetts boarder. 

​His ideal home with be Malinois experienced, active, caring and committed to providing his the vet care and monitoring he is expected to need to manage his chronic but under control immune disorder. 

​If you think you can provide Maverick with the home and care he requires please email me, his coordinator at vsharp@malinoisrescue.org

ABMR thanks you for taking the time to look at our malinois available for adoption.
