Captain
Good with cats: TBD
Good with kids: Yes
Captain is a young dog who was brought in as a stray. Despite not knowing his full history, one thing is clear: He's obviously known love at some point before he made his way to us, and he's ready for his second chance at it.
He already knows how to sit, and he's eager to learn more tricks. Training should be easy since he loves treats, and he'll wait patiently for them.
Captain is an adventurous dog who loves to stay active. He enjoys a good round of fetch, especially with a stuffed toy. He likes to run laps around the play yards too. He appreciates a good walk and enjoys taking in the sights and sounds along the trail.
He's a friendly and outgoing dog who seeks attention from everyone he sees. He enjoys pets and will lean into you for affection. He especially enjoys having his back scratched.
Things haven't always been easy for Captain, but he's still holding out hope that you can be the one to show him how great life can be. He's not asking for much – just the comfort and security of a loving family. Stop by and ask to meet Captain today!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
