Story
My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. My foster parents say that I have come a long way. When I first arrived, I was terrified of everything. I don’t know if this was just my way of decompressing or if I am just a naturally nervous dog or perhaps both. But with love, patience, and encouragement, I slowly came out of my shell. I am still nervous but my personality is starting to show, especially when I am out in the backyard. I’m like a totally different dog out there, running around and having fun.In terms of my other qualities, I am dog-friendly and housebroken. I am also crate-trained. In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. I am fine being home alone when my foster parents go to work. Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper. I am very skittish so children would be too scary for me. Also, an overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming, too. I have not been very cuddly with people but I will sometimes let my foster mom pet me. I’m starting to sort of come around to my foster dad but trusting him is still a work-in-progress. I am up-to-date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. I weigh about 14 pounds. I should probably gain a pound or so.In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly that wants to meet everyone. Previous experience with scared/skittish dogs is a plus but not a must. Since I am still figuring out leash-walking, I will also need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one. Does this sound like you? Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.Adoption fee is $320Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5)
