Meet 16-100 "Captain"

Captain #13-257. Arrived 5/8/2013, at 6 months old.
Captain has become our profile picture which means he is officially our LONGEST resident. At only 6 months old and walking in our door, he had two strikes against him; Captain is a pit and Captain is black. We are sad that Captain grew up at the shelter, but glad that we are able to recognize what long term confinement means and do all that we can to alleviate that. Captain has missed two sets of Holidays in a home. Captain has missed two summers of sharing licks from an ice cream cone with his forever companion. He has missed two autumns of playing in piles of blowing leaves. Captain has missed two winters of jumping to catch snowflakes on his tongue and landing in the snow covered grass. He has missed two springs of smelling the flowers and chasing butterflies. We refuse to let Captain have a third strike when the first two are no fault of his own. Captain is very treat motivated and it makes him a quick study for training. He has very dedicated volunteers and staff at the shelter who have seen him through his teen years and provided him with the outlets of long walks and agility training. Captain is vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm negative; on prevention, and he is neutered and microchipped. If you adopt him, Captain will steer your ship into the sunset of forever companionship.

Captain is a young male, neutered, vaccinated microchipped and ready for his forever home, and all he needs is someone to open their heart to him. Want to foster instead?
