My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.vetting incompleteMeet El Capitan – Your Adventure Buddy with a Heart of Gold!  Full of energy and overflowing with love, El Capitan is always ready for his next adventure, or a cozy cuddle session!  This happy boy lives for belly rubs and will happily flop onto his back at a moment’s notice to soak up all the affection he can get. El Capitan loves running around the backyard, chasing squirrels, and playing with toys.  He’s a social pup who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a blast playing and even running the fence line with his canine neighbors.  He’s also a great travel companion.  He rides well in the car and is always up for a walk, where he shows off his good leash manners. This sweet boy is housetrained, crate trained, and friendly with everyone he meets. He’s not food-aggressive and has a healthy appetite.  Mealtime is definitely one of his favorite times of day! Like many dogs, El Capitan can be a bit vocal when people or animals pass by “his” territory, and he may need a little guidance as he adjusts to a new home (he’s been known to mark in spots where another dog previously lived).  With consistency and routine, these minor quirks are very manageable. At the end of the day, El Capitan is a loving, playful, and loyal companion who just wants to be part of the action...and your heart.  If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup who will keep you smiling, El Capitan is your guy!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 4, 2026, 1:10 pm
