My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

~~This dog is **NOT** in the care of the Alternative Humane Society. Please reach out to the owner directly at darrenheystek12@gmail.com Thank you~~

Captain was born in late May of 2019 and we got him as a pup. Looking for someone to rehome him to, we feel that we are lacking on time right now to spend with him, so he gets a little mischievous :) Want him to go to a good home that will treat him right. Loves kids, we have kids between 1 and 6, and he does great with all of them. He lives to play fetch, hauls anything over that he can grab if he can't find his ball at the time. He does pretty well with neighbor dogs, just does not like being surprised from behind by another dog. Lived with our cat for about a year... took a little getting used to but got along fine shortly after. This winter he was in the vet to get all of his vaccines up to date as well as getting neutered. Should be good to go!
