About Catch

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Catch has spent many years at the shelter after originally arriving as a young dog. He quickly became a familiar sight, having spent most of his life with caring staff and volunteers. For a time, he enjoyed a loving home and a deep bond with his adopter, but after two years, he returned to the shelter due to his owner's passing. Catch is now seeking a forever home where he can be the only animal, as he prefers the spotlight all to himself. He absolutely loves his walks, indulges in tasty treats, and will thrive with someone who enjoys giving good back scratches. A home without small children and other pets will suit him best, where he can settle in and share a devoted companionship. Born on December 28, Catch is a Capricorn—a sign known for loyalty and resilience, which describes him perfectly. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
