Capone

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 3 years old & 51lbs<br/>* Dog-friendly, with slow introductions<br/>* No cats - high prey drive<br/>* Working on potty training<br/>* Crate-trained<br/>* Older kids only (10+)<br/>* Certified velcro dog<br/><br/>Meet Capone, a 3-year-old, 51-pound pit mix with a personality that's larger than life and a heart that's even bigger. Originally surrendered in Texas, Capone is now looking for a home where he can finally settle in and be someone's loyal right-hand man. <br/><br/>If you love a dog who believes personal space is overrated, Capone is your guy. He is absolutely obsessed with people, happiest when he's cuddled up close, in your lap, or directly in your face, asking for attention. He loves walks, toys, splashing around in kiddie pools, and will never turn down quality cuddle time. <br/><br/>Capone can be a lot in a shelter setting; the chaos and noise bring out his reactive side, but once he's outside of that environment, he's a completely different dog. In a home, he has great manners, is house-trained with no indoor accidents (though he may occasionally excited-piddle when he's extra happy to be let out of his crate), and is very receptive to guidance and boundaries. He already understands things like staying off counters and enjoys learning from his people.<br/><br/>He's playful and enjoys roughhousing with other dogs, but underneath all that enthusiasm is a very submissive boy who takes corrections well from canine friends. Because he can be leash reactive and gets overstimulated during introductions, slow, calm meet-and-greets work best ideally off-leash in a neutral environment.<br/><br/><br/>Capone will need an active, dog-savvy family willing to work through some of his quirks. He's strong on leash, athletic enough to clear impressive heights, and would do best with a confident handler and a secure fence (6 feet preferred). Due to his prey drive, he's looking for a cat-free home and would likely do best without small animals. Older kids are recommended because he can be jumpy and mouthy when excited all in fun, never aggression.<br/><br/><br/>He does well in a crate, though fair warning: you'll need to move quickly, closing the door because Capone would much rather stay with his people than miss out on the action. He'd also do best in a home without shared walls, as he can be vocal.<br/><br/>Capone may share a name with one of history's most famous mob bosses, but the only thing criminal about him is how quickly he'll steal your couch space and your heart. With patience, structure, and plenty of love, this goofy, water-loving cuddle bug is ready to become someone's loyal partner in crime.<br/><br/><br/>If interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website at www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org; please make sure you fill in every required field/question, or your submission will not go through.
