Meet Maynard: The Professional Fetch Champion You've Been Waiting For! If your idea of a perfect day involves a walk, an epic game of fetch, and a loyal wingman by your side, meet Maynard. At 3 years-old and 14 solid lbs., Maynard is built with the sturdy, athletic charm of a Teddy Roosevelt rat terrier. He's ready to bring fun, energy, and plenty of entertainment to his forever home. Maynard's true passion in life is simple: a ball. Whether it's bouncing across the yard or rolling down a hallway, if it's round, Maynard is on it. He is a bright, high-drive boy who thrives when he has an active outlet for his clever brain and quick paws. When it comes to humans, Maynard is genuinely friendly and loves being part of the action. He greets people with enthusiastic wags of his nub tail and an eager, bright-eyed expression that says, "Are we going on an adventure?" The best part of Maynard's day is when his human gets home, he will make excited little barks and grab a ball to remind you that it is time to play. While Maynard loves receiving attention from people, he is not a lap dog, and prefers active engagement over snuggles. He isn't the type to burrow under your blanket; instead, he prefers to relax nearby after a solid play session. Maynard gets excited to meet other dogs when he sees them during a walk. He gets intimidated by large dogs in his space and prefers dogs that are closer to his size. He can happily respect the space of the terrier in his foster home as long as he has plenty of human attention to keep him engaged. Maynard is also house-trained and sleeps well in a crate in addition to being a great car rider! Maynard's ideal home is an active individual or family who loves spending time outdoors and playing fetch. A secure yard or regular walks outside are a must, as well as adopters who appreciate a smart, independent working-terrier personality. Maynard is ready to pack his favorite tennis ball for his next big adventure!
