My name is Captain Maxwell, and I am a handsome brown retriever mix who is 100% ready to chart a course for fun! I am an active, busy, and social guy who loves meeting new people, seeking out affection, and keeping my mind engaged with daily adventures.

I am built for outdoor exploration and loyal companionship. Here are a few top-deck traits from my résumé:

• Ball Retrieval Captain: I love tennis balls! Fetch games, ball chases, and toy exploration are my absolute favorite daily activities.
• Gentle Snack Manners: I already know “sit”! Plus, I take treats with the gentlest, softest touch—snacks and puzzle toys are the absolute best way to practice my training.
• Gold-Star Handling: I passed all my handling checks with flying colors! Tails, paws, ears—I am a total breeze for gentle handling and pets.
• Private Captain’s Quarters Dining: When it comes to mealtime, I prefer to enjoy my kibble in my own quiet, solo dining space so I can eat peacefully without an audience.

Because I’ve got big, bouncy puppy energy, I am looking for an active home (and kids 6+) ready for daily outdoor exercise, calming brain games, and positive basic training.

When meeting other dog friends, I like slow, structured introductions so I can learn to be a great, polite co-pilot.
