My story

🛡️Stand Tall with Captain Gantu!🛡️ In a world that could always use a little more loyalty, courage, and tail wags—Captain Gantu has reported for duty. Found wandering solo on May 30, 2025, this four-year-old hero-in-training may not carry a shield, but he does carry the spirit of a true companion. With a chiseled jaw (okay, it’s mostly fur), a bright smile, and a heart full of valor, Gantu is the total package: friendly, playful, and brave. He’s got the energy of a super soldier on a mission, which means he may need some leash training—because right now, he thinks every walk is a sprint toward freedom. But underneath all that heroic hustle? A loyal guy who’s ready to fight for your heart and protect your couch with honor. 🦴 Status Report: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Current on his rabies vaccine ✔️ Ready for action (and cuddles) 📍 Located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 Call: 419-774-5892 📧 Application required – request one at: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov If you’re looking for strength, charm, and a whole lot of heart — Captain Gantu is your guy. 🐾💪 Adopt your furry first avenger today!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Captain Gantu, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
