My name is Captain Steve. A volunteer gave me that name because of my hook-shaped tail. My tail has a funny shape but I like that no one else has one like it. I wag it like crazy when I meet new people. I have been in a foster home for two months, which has been really nice after wandering around Charlotte and ending up at the animal shelter. I don’t know why my first family left me out on my own, because it seems like they loved me. They taught me things like Sit and Fetch. In my foster home I have also learned new things like Wait and Stay and Down and Drop it. I have a dog foster sibling who is a lot older than I am. I know she can’t play with me but we curl up near each other on the couch. I have a cat foster sibling who I don’t chase. I like watching her come and go but I give her her space. I have a lot of self control!
I like being a good boy. I never have accidents in the house. I go to the door if I need to go out and my foster parents walk me 2-3 times a day. I like short walks, long walks, trips to breweries and coffee shops. Everywhere we go I get extra attention and I love that! I don’t bark at other dogs because I am a gentleman. On walks I love picking up sticks of all sizes. I like playing with dogs my size who run fast and play hard. At home, I like gnawing on nylabones and antlers and taking the fluff and squeakers out of stuffed animals. I don’t destroy anything that isn’t a dog toy. I also am really good at napping. I like my crate, especially at bedtime after my last outing; I just go right in and flop down and sleep in there all night. During the day, I want to be with my people but if they have to leave I know it’s crate time, and that’s ok.
My foster family is surprised I haven’t found my forever home yet, because I am so good. But I know it’s because the right home hasn’t found me yet. I’m waiting for people who will appreciate my adorable face, my soft fur, my excellent listening skills, my playfulness equal to my chill, and all my other attributes! To sum up, I’m:
House trained and crate trained
Great in the car
Non-reactive around dogs and cats
Quick to learn: I already know Sit, Down, Stay, Wait, Drop it
Good for baths and hardly shed
A nice combo of playful and relaxed (especially for a young dog)
