🐾 Meet Captain — A Good Ol’ Boy Looking for His Person 🐾
Captain came into rescue when his owner had to move in with family who couldn’t accommodate him. A kind foster with two personal dogs stepped up, and Captain moved in. It was the perfect place for him to decompress — but over time, he’s made it clear he prefers not to share his foster mom with other dogs. So now, we’re looking for a new foster or adopter who doesn’t have other dogs.
Since joining our rescue, we’ve discovered what a truly wonderful dog Captain is. If you have any questions about him, we’d love to chat!
🐶 About Captain:
Captain is an adorable, healthy younger senior — a beagle/shepherd mix, around 9 or 10 years old — looking for a long-term foster or forever home. While he’s lived peacefully with other dogs before, he’s not keen on sharing his person, so we’re seeking a dog-free home. Cats, however, are welcome! He’s had feline friends in the past and gets along well with them.
🛋️ Captain’s Lifestyle:
- Fully housebroken
- Doesn’t get on furniture or chew things he shouldn’t
- Calm, easygoing, and fine being left alone
❤️ Captain’s Favorites:
- Car rides
- Chasing a ball (and making you chase him back!)
- Belly rubs
- Kids and babies of all kinds
- Kitties
- Getting brushed
🚫 Captain’s Not-So-Favorites:
- Thunderstorms
- Baths (showers are okay)
- Hair dryers (towel drying is a big YES)
- Vacuum cleaners — even when they’re off
- Chickens — he’s a little too enthusiastic about them, so no chickens please!
Captain is just a good ol’ boy looking for a peaceful home and a person to love. If you think you could be Captain’s mate, let us know at dirtroaddoggiesrescue.org.
