Story
Calling all humans interested in a fixer-upper with AMAZING potential! My name is Captain, and I'm a 4-year-old, 65lb Border Collie mix who is looking for a person (or people) willing to help me develop into the super smart love bug that I was born to be. I am crate and potty trained, and I love treats, toys and snuggles.But, unlike most online profiles, I'm going to be honest - I have issues. I have developed some reactivity to dogs and children, and I've had a couple of bite incidents that resulted from people not knowing or teaching children how to interact with dogs. I've been evaluated by an excellent trainer, and it's their opinion that I need a child-free home - and for the time being - a home without other pets. I am not good with cats, but I do get along with other dogs after a proper introduction. But I am muzzle trained because I do not handle rudeness very well - and since we're being honest, there are a lot of rude people and pets out there in the world.So until I learn to trust and communicate my discomfort to a human who will listen, I really need a human who will respect my fear and set me up for success. I need a person I can rely on, who can advocate for me and is willing to work with a confidence-building trainer to help develop into the adventure buddy I know I can be.I'm an amazing snuggle buddy, and if you let me into your life, you'll never be lonely. I have enough energy to accompany you on walks, runs or hikes but enough chill to be your favorite movie or reading companion. I am a guy who has been misunderstood and now has to deal with the ramifications of other people's mistakes. But make no mistake, I am a diamond in the rough, and a best friend worth every minute of effort for a patient, loving heart. I deserve the best. I will give you my best. So, who is up for the best kind of relationship building?!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal.
