Meet Cappy

Energetic, playful, and full of life* Loves toys, sunbathing, and naps* House-trainedCappy is currently in foster, and here's what his fosters say about him: Cappy is proof that not all seniors read the script. At 8, he is energetic, playful, and engaged in life. He is ready for a home that is truly his. He loves his enrichment toys, from lick pads to squeaky balls and anything that makes noise. He'll bring you a stuffy to play with and handles stairs up and down without a second thought. Sunbathing is a core personality trait. So are long, luxurious naps after a good outing. He is the dog that makes you feel like you've earned your couch time too. Cappy is fully house-trained and will let you know when it's time to go out, so there's no guessing and no accidents. He is also working on his leash manners and making good progress. The right home for Cappy is one with no small animals and someone who sees a dog that still has a lot of life in him and wants to share it. He'll reward that person with loyalty, silliness, and a permanent warm spot on the couch.
