Captain Morgan is a sweetheart who is already house and crate trained. He is a fairly low key boy who gets along well with my two older dogs, and maneuvers my house and backyard like a pro. He walks well on a leash and halter, but needs help getting in and out of the car. Once he gets used to you, you will have a loving shadow following you around. He is content to just sit or lay near you. Please consider giving the Captain a good forever home, he will return your love with interest!.
Update 6/6/11:
The Captain has passed his Vet checkup with flying colors and good heart and lung sounds!
Captain Morgan has settled in with my pack and meets me at the door when I come home from work with his tail wagging. He knows exactly where to sit for treats (by the cookie jar) and where to sit and wait for his food (he barks when he hears the kibble hitting the dish just to remind me he is patiently waiting J. He loves his stuffed animals and carries them all over the house and yard. He is a gentle, easy going guy that deserves a furever home of his own with someone to take him for walks and keep him supplied with stuffed animals.
