Capone's Story
Fast Facts:<br/>* 3 Years Old & 52lbs<br/>* Dog-friendly, with slow introductions<br/>* No cats - high prey drive<br/>* Potty-trained<br/>* Crate-trained<br/>* Older kids preferred (10+)<br/>* Certified velcro dog<br/><br/>Meet Capone, a 3-year-old, 51-pound pit mix with a personality larger than life and a heart even bigger! Originally surrendered in Texas, Capone is 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 thinks personal space is overrated, Capone is your guy. He is obsessed with people and happiest cuddled up close, in your lap, or right in your face asking for attention. He loves walks, toys, kiddie pools, and, of course, plenty of cuddle time.<br/><br/>Capone can be a lot in a shelter setting, where the chaos and noise bring out his reactive side. Outside of that environment, though, he's a completely different dog. In a home, he's house-trained, has good manners, and is very receptive to guidance and boundaries. He's playful with other dogs and enjoys roughhousing, but he's also submissive and takes corrections well. Because he can be leash reactive and easily overstimulated during introductions, slow, calm meet-and-greets in a neutral setting are best.<br/><br/>Capone will need an active, dog-savvy family willing to work through some of his quirks. He's strong on leash, athletic, and would do best with a confident handler and a secure 6-foot fence. Due to his prey drive, he needs a cat-free home and would likely do best without small animals. Older kids are recommended since he can be jumpy and mouthy when excited—always playfully, never aggressively.<br/><br/>He's crate-trained, although you'll need to move quickly to close the door because he'd much rather stay with his people! 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/>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.
