About Captain

Cap'n is a striking 7-year-old cattle dog/American bulldog mix, weighing about 75 pounds and sporting a short tan-and-white coat. After losing his owner, Cap'n landed with the rescue and has been making the most of a top-tier board-and-train program with Midas Touch Dog Training. He thrives on structure and is already house-trained, crate-trained, rides well in the car, and is great on leash. Cap'n is sharp, loyal, and full of energy—he absolutely needs an active, experienced family able to give him regular exercise and engagement. If you love hiking or running, he's your guy. He loves having a job or learning something new, but also settles in for a cuddle when he’s had his fill of action for the day. Cap'n can get protective meeting new faces, so he’ll do best with a patient owner who takes introductions slow. James, his trainer, is ready to offer detailed tips for a smooth transition from board-and-train to home life. He tends to herd other dogs, so Cap'n is better either as the only dog or with a calm canine pal, but not with small children or cats. His adoption fee is $100 and covers vaccinations, neuter, microchip, and preventative care. Cap'n is in Overland Park, KS, and is waiting for a home where loyalty and intelligence get the attention they deserve. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
