My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

About Capone
Belgian Shepherd Malinois Capone is believed to be approximately 3 years old. Capone came into the shelter after being abandoned in a dog park. He had several medical issues that needed attention. His coat was in awful condition, and his tail had no hair. Capone received the love and attention he deserved and needed, and has since made a full recovery. Capone is intelligent and figures things out quickly. He knows some basic obedience, but will need to start training with his new family immediately. Capone has some unique quirks that will require attention. He will need an owner who will be a strong leader for him. He will need to have firm boundaries established by someone who can be strict but also very loving. Potential adopters are strongly advised to do their research on the breed and/or have previously owned a Malinois. They are a very active breed that will require a great deal of exercise, training, and mental stimulation. Capone is looking for a person who will love him as much as he would love them. Capone has so much love to offer and absolutely loves attention. He is a real goofy guy once you get to know him. Capone would rather be petted, loved and talked to than play! He is all about getting attention and will go great lengths to get it. Capone is the definition of unconditional love. Capone is in need of a home with no cats or small dogs. He seems to be selective as to how he reacts to other dogs. He will also need a secure yard with a 6-foot fence. Capone is required to have an in-home visit prior to being adopted. This great pup weighs 77 lb.
