My story

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

Meet Captain, a young, energetic dog with a heart full of love. This friendly pup adores cuddles and is always ready for a playful adventure, prancing around with curiosity and confidence. He`s not the best at leash walking (he likes to lead) but he might already know a bit about house training. Please be patient though if he needs more guidance. Despite his perky spirit, Captain can be a bit stubborn and whiny when nervous, yet his loving nature always shines through. He weighs 18 pounds and is alert and eager to explore, making every day a new journey. He knows the sit command. We haven`t seen him interact yet with children or other dogs but he does find his shelter neighbors fascinating. Captain`s blend of sweet and spirited traits makes him the perfect companion for someone who loves fun and affection. Bring Captain home and let his loving spirit fill your life. (tw 12/10/2025)
