Captain Pike, or Bingo as he's sometimes called, is a 2-year-old neutered male Aussie/Terrier mix who weighs in at 36 lbs. He came to Missouri from a rescue in Texas, and he’s had a few names in his journey: Shriner, Toodles, and now Captain Pike "bingo." With a golden and cream coat, he’s known for being active, playful, and fiercely protective of his people, especially women. He gravitates toward laps, loves all sorts of toys (though stuffed ones never last long), and reliably walks on leash. He’s housebroken, rides well in cars, and knows sit, shake, and how to perch on a chair. There are some specific needs for Captain Pike’s next home. He digs and chews, jumps up when excited, and gets anxious if left alone—sometimes he’ll chase kids who are running (not a match for homes with energetic children). He’s reactive around strangers and men in hats, doesn’t like storms or fireworks, and has a streak of jealousy. He must not live with cats—he is not cat-safe. He’s done well with women, has been good with babies, but could be nippy with older kids running around. Captain Pike gets along with other dogs and walks well on a leash. He is best for a home seeking a housebroken, loyal, and entertaining companion, ideally with adults or families experienced in managing boundaries and behavior. He comes neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
