My story

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

This beautiful boy came to us through no fault of his own, and despite everything he’s been through, he still has so much love to give. Capitan absolutely melts for head scratches and will happily take a treat—especially if it’s peanut butter, his favorite!
He can be a little shy around new people, especially men, but all he really needs is patience and kindness. Once he feels safe, his gentle, loving spirit starts to shine.
Capitan is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and fully up to date on his vaccinations. He’s just waiting for someone to see the special dog he is and give him the safe, quiet home he deserves.
If you have a little extra love and time to give, Capitan would be so grateful for a second chance.

More about this shelter

The mission of the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown is to provide a safe haven for lost, homeless, and abused companion animals; to help reunite lost companion animals with their family; to find new homes for adoptable and abandoned animals; and to aid in strengthening the human to animal bond.

It is the dream of the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown to have a community where no companion animal is left to starve and fend for itself; and where companion animals have a comfortable and loving place to life until a permanent home can be found.
