May Mutt of the Month: Maverick

Meet our May Mutt of the Month, Maverick. This charming pup was one of the shining stars at Mulligan’s Mutt Madness 2024, captivating the crowd that was eager to offer him lots of pets and cuddles. Maverick ultimately found his forever home with Alana Mendoza.

“He’s exactly what our family was looking for, and we are thankful to Mutt Madness for helping us find our new family member,” says Alana.

Maverick loves being with Alana’s brother, Silas, spending time outside, jumping in the leaves and going on car rides.

Maverick’s happy ending is just one of the 12 heartwarming stories from Mutt Madness 2024. Since this incredible event, held in collaboration with Kentucky Humane Society, started back in 2018 about 100 shelter dogs have been matched with their humans.

Want to be part of the magic? Mark your calendars! Mutt Madness 2025 will be held at Equip Exposition on Thursday, October 23, from 11:30-2 p.m. in the South Wing A Lobby at the Kentucky Expo Center. You can also get Expo 2025 off on the right foot – and support KHS at the same time – by registering for Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run & Walk, sponsored by Active Dynamics.
