About Cap

Cap is here to assemble with all the heroes! This adorable pup is full of energy and curiosity, always ready to dive into adventures, whether that's wrestling squeaky toys or chasing leaves in the yard. He’s a fun mix of border collie and Australian shepherd, possibly with some poodle in there too, showcasing a charming blend of looks and personality. As a young boy of just 2 months, Cap thrives on interaction and snuggles. Adopters should be prepared for a lively companion; experience with high-energy breeds is necessary. A fenced yard is required, and he would thrive best in a home where someone is around most of the time since he does best with lots of attention. With his herding instincts intact, he may not be suited for homes with small children and he’s not an apartment dog due to his vocal nature. Cap is currently in Troy, IL and is ready to bring joy to a loving home. This little superhero is waiting to meet you!
