Capp, is a good dog , he needs to be neutered. I have another dog who also needs to be neutered and should have done that earlier but I didn’t .Cap and him don’t get along now, did for awhile, he gets along great with my other neutered dog, but not the other one.He is super sweet and loves to cuddle up and sleep with ya. I just want to find him a good home. I do have a scheduled neutereing appointment Feb 3. Which I will help get done.I hope that helps.I hope I can find him a good home. Thanks

Story
“There is nothing truer in this world than the love of a dog.” And do we have a special dog for you - meet Juneau! She is three years old and weighs 40 pounds, so she's a great choice if you want to adopt a medium-sized companion. Why we love her - Juneau is as sweet as she is beautiful, and that is saying a lot! Her gorgeous blue eyes are the color of a perfect summer sky, and her soft and fluffy coat is perfect for petting, which she greatly enjoys. Juneau trots happily at your side on daily walks and is such an enthusiastic companion. She also loves outings in the fenced yard. Juneau has enjoyed being in play groups with some of her fellow shelter dogs. If you have another dog, we do require a meet and greet to ensure compatibility. Juneau is always ready for a pet and a cuddle and we truly enjoy her company. Juneau wants to please and should master any commands you wish to teach her. She will be such a loving and fun part of the family lucky enough to take her home! E-mail ccacangels@yahoo.com for more information! Please come visit! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
