Ruff Ruff! My name is Captain

Could this be your new best friend?

CAPTAIN is looking for a very special home possibly a ranch or farm.  He was rescued from the side of the road about a mile from Fuzzy Friends Rescue; covered in ticks and in need of immediate medical attention.  We cannot say for sure what Captian's life was life before he arrived at our rescue, but it was apparent that he had been neglected and was very wary of strangers.  He has come a long way in building trust with the staff members and volunteers, and he has quickly become one of our favorites!  

This boy is a whirling dervish of activity!  When he is in his kennel at night, he keeps himself occupied by batting his food bowl around.  During the day, he will sometimes pick up rocks and toss them about the day yard.  He loves to run the fences with the dogs in the neighboring exercise yards, but put him with any of these dogs, and he plays with all his heart. 

Captain is a very intelligent and intuitive dog, so he will need to participate in activities that will continually challenge and stimulate him.  Of course, he will need the regular daily exercise, and would love going for walks or runs with his special human being.  We would not recommend Captian for a home with small children, but he we feel he would do well in a home with active owners who could include him in ther activities.  

When he needs to spend some alone time it should be in a secure, well-fenced, and dog-friendly back yard with water, shade, and protection from the elements.  Since Captian is uncomfortable with new people and new situations, we do not feel that he would thrive as an 'outside only' pet.  He is going to require constant socialization and reinforcement, which will require time, love, and patience.

Captian is a wonderful dog, but he just needs to be allowed the time to get to know you.  We do not want him to spend his days at Fuzzy Friends Rescue, but we do want to ensure that he is adopted into a well-adjusted and happy home.  He could make a wonderful companion, and we think he would feel very lucky to have someone to share his life with. 

Come meet Captain today!
