About Capricorn

Capricorn is a gentle spirit waiting for someone to truly believe in her. This precious young girl is a bit shy but has so much love to give. With the right person beside her, she can learn to feel safe and confident, finally discovering the happiness that has eluded her. She needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and enjoys celebrating the small victories along the way. A calm home would suit Capricorn best—ideally with a single person, a couple, or an empty nester. Young children may be too overwhelming for her sensitive nature. Fortunately, Capricorn adores other dogs, and having a friendly canine companion will help her feel more comfortable as she adjusts. Our hope is for Capricorn to find a place where she can thrive, unwind, and understand that she belongs and is loved every day. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, please reach out.
