About Captain

Meet Captain, the ultimate cuddle buddy! This charming 4-year-old neutered male mixed breed radiates warmth and affection. Rescued from an unfortunate situation, Captain refuses to let his past dampen his spirit. He adores humans and will happily turn into your personal pillow for cuddles and hugs. On sunny days, you’ll find him basking at the front door or in the backyard, perfectly content in his chill mode. When he's not relaxing, Captain loves to watch the world through the window, intrigued by everything outside. He’s a whirlwind of energy when he’s outdoors, racing around the yard, and bouncing after squeaky tennis balls. His obsession with plush toys means he’ll often present you with his stuffy as a token of his excitement. Captain has a delightful personality trait — he howls for just about everything. Whether he wants to go outside, eat, or simply get your attention, expect a chorus of howls. Conversations with him are inevitable! He has a playful history with other dogs, so a compatible canine companion could make a great addition to his life. However, due to a high prey drive, he shouldn't share a home with cats. He’s been good with young kids but tends to get jumpy, so he’d thrive best with older, sturdy, dog-savvy children. If you’re ready to embrace all this love, come meet Captain. He’s in a foster home right now, and they’re open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 to 4. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
