Captain is nearly two years old and bursting with energy, sitting behind shelter doors when he'd much rather be playing fetch or snoozing at your feet. He is all about toys—give him a ball, squeaky, or rope and he’ll turn any dull moment into a game. There’s an open-hearted, goofy side beneath all that energy, just waiting for someone to notice. He connects quickest with women and feels safest around them. Captain can get comfortable around men too, but he needs patience and consistent kindness; letting him set the pace will build trust. For homes with men, he’d thrive with someone willing to invest the time in building that bond. Captain does not do well with young kids or cats—he’s happiest in a home with a woman or a patient couple who understand his quirks and are ready to fill his days with toys, space, and understanding. If you’re the sort who sees beneath kennel stress to the loyal, playful heart underneath, Captain is ready for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
