My story

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

🛡️Stand Tall with Captain Gantu!🛡️

In a world that could always use a little more loyalty, courage, and tail wags—Captain Gantu has reported for duty. Found wandering solo on May 30, 2025, this four-year-old hero-in-training may not carry a shield, but he does carry the spirit of a true companion.

With a chiseled jaw (okay, it’s mostly fur), a bright smile, and a heart full of valor, Gantu is the total package: friendly, playful, and brave. He’s got the energy of a super soldier on a mission, which means he may need some leash training—because right now, he thinks every walk is a sprint toward freedom.

But underneath all that heroic hustle? A loyal guy who’s ready to fight for your heart and protect your couch with honor.

🦴 Status Report:
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Current on his rabies vaccine
✔️ Ready for action (and cuddles)
