My story

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

My name is Capulin and I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I came in with another dog who I seemed to get along with well. I do have a low grade heart murmur that does not appear to be causing me any issues currently. I am a happy, sweet dog!

Foster notes on Capulin:

`Capulin is a sweet dog with low energy. We went for a walk and he did well on the leash and didn’t react to strangers or cars passing by. He likes treats and laying on the couch. He was nervous to get into the car, but once he was in, he settled down. We hung out at home for a couple of hours and when strangers walked through the door, he seemed nervous but didn’t bark. We hung out at home for a couple of hours and he liked to lay on the couch and look out the back door. He is sweet and mellow.`
`Capulin was shy at first but warmed up with plenty of praise and pets!
We took him on a hike in the woods, and he loved it! Sniffed almost every tree and seems like he’d love to go for a run as well! We saw some deer and he was very chill and didn’t bark at all. He checks behind him when walking to make sure you’re still there! He also loves butt scratches. So cute.`


`Capulin was the sweetest boy! We went on a 2 mile hike and he was wonderful! After taking a minute to warm up Cap was all about pets, especially butt rubs. He did very well in the car and barely pulled on the leash, even ignoring the many squirrels & deer that we came upon during our walk. I can assume he would be the best cuddler as he accepted many hugs during our time together. I hope Capulin gets the best home, he deserves it! I love how he is up to do anything, rather that be a chill day with lots of pets or a walk through the woods.`


I`m a stylishly senior pet and therefore my adoption fee has been reduced. If you are 65 and older and interested in adopting me, ask staff about our Senior Squared deal! Go to this page for more information about available pets, adopting, visiting our facility, and contacting our adoption desk.

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.
