Captain is on the lookout for a comfy couch and a family to call his own. If you're looking for a dog who loves to nap and is also game for a walk to the park, you've found your match! He is essentially a ready made pet with his house training and good manners. He will only bark when hungry, needs to go outside to use the bathroom, or if he wants to come downstairs past the gate. He can be stubborn though when he wants to stay outside, he sure does love his sunbathing! Captain is pretty sure you need him to sleep in bed with you. He will help keep you warm on cold nights and serenade you with the melodious sounds of his snoring. Captain loves his people and loves spending time with them, he will always be ready to accompany you on your next adventure.
Captain is up to date on all of his shots, has had his teeth cleaned and neutered. He does have a condition called 'Dry Eye' in which his eyes do not produce enough tears. He will require an eye ointment twice a day for the rest of his life. The cost of his medicine is fairly inexpensive. Captain doesn't mind getting his medication, as long as there is a treat afterwards!!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
