Story

Meet Captain Cactus!This goofy one year old pup is searching for the perfect person, or family, to give all his love and energy to! Captain Cactus is a 45 pound labrador retriever mix full of all the playfulness and energy of a young pup! A goofball at heart, Captain Cactus loves running around carefree and feeling the breeze in his fur. Playful and not picky, he`ll keep himself more than content with a tennis ball to fetch, a squeaky toy to chew on, or a rope to tug. While Captain Cactus is high energy, he`s also very smart and can quickly learn new behaviors (he already knows sit and down!).A bit sensitive in nature, Captain Cactus can take a little bit of time to warm up to new people. But with plenty of patience and a couple yummy treats he`s sure to be a fast friend in no time. Due to his sensitive nature, if Captain Cactus were to go home with a family, the kids in the family would have to be 13 years or older. Captain Cactus shows potential to live with other pups, however, he will need a slow introduction to any new doggie siblings in order to ensure that he is feeling safe and confident adjusting to his new friends!Looking for a goofy young pup to keep the days filled with fun times and snuggles? Stop by and meet Captain Cactus today or call (330) 487-0333 ext. 803!
