Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Cap, a two-year-old neutered male bloodhound with a big heart and plenty of energy. Cap will thrive with a male owner who has dog training experience, and he truly shines in homes with larger, older children—he’s friendly, loving, and strong, but sometimes too much for smaller kids. A fenced yard is a must for Cap, as he loves to explore, run the nature trail, and play tug-of-war or chew on bones. He does best with other dogs of similar size, as small dogs and tiny animals may get overwhelmed by his playful exuberance, though he shows no prey drive or aggression. Cap gets along well with cats; in fact, he’s so gentle that his previous feline friends would rub their tails in his face without worry. He must be kenneled when left alone, as he sometimes chews non-soft items like remotes. Nail clipping is a challenge—distract him with a good rib scratch and he’ll get through it. Cap needs an active, understanding owner who’s prepared for his strength and classic hound slobber, and a little management to keep him out of trouble. If you have older children, a large canine playmate, and can keep chicken products far away (he’s allergic and on a special diet), Cap could be your ideal companion. He’s a loving, playful fellow—especially suited to those ready to appreciate his quirky, loyal nature and keep up with his adventures. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
