About Captain
Meet Captain. Captain is a sweet 5-6-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for the patience and kindness that have been missing from his life. He’s had a sheltered existence, so navigating the outside world can feel overwhelming for him. Fortunately, he’s not mean or difficult; he’s simply scared and still learning about trust. What Captain needs most is a calm and understanding person who can offer him time to settle in and build his confidence. He would thrive in a home with children over 10 and someone who is home most of the day. Captain bonds quickly with his trusted person, and he’s likely to become a devoted companion. To feel safe, he will need a secure fenced area where he can safely play and explore. Captain is mostly potty trained and will excel with a consistent routine and regular outdoor trips. He enjoys the company of other dogs and gains confidence from their presence, although he can also flourish as an only dog if given the companionship he craves. He doesn’t need someone to “fix” him. Just a gentle hand to show him, day by day, that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. If you have a quiet home, some patience, and room in your heart for a dog ready to learn how to be brave, Captain might be your perfect match. This adorable companion is located in Pass Christian, MS, with transport available to approved adopters in the Northeast. Virtual meet-and-greets are conducted prior to adoption.
