My story

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

Captain is an amazing dog! He is good on a leash, loves long walks, loves to cuddle and enjoys a good zoomie. He can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly and is a total sweetheart! He chases cats sometimes, but overall, he is good with them and has lived with 4 cats in the past. He has also lived with 3 other dogs of various sizes - he is sometimes iffy with dogs larger than him. Captain has been DNA tested! He is 42% Pit Bull, 18% Mountain Cur, 12.9% Australian Cattle Dog, 11.4% Golden Retriever, 9.1% Boxer, and 6.4% "Supermutt".
