captain

Captain's story could have been much sadder. He was held in a San Bernadino shelter waiting for a new forever home but was never allowed to be seen by the public. He was in the quarantine building because he was afraid to come to the front of his kennel with animal control officers. Volunteers call this building "death row" and describe it as a horrible location where food is thrown into the cages and the animals receive no care. Captain was on the euthanasia list but was spared when the San Bernardino shelter ran out of time euthanizing that day. Fortunately a volunteer from AALOC was able to transfer Captain to the safety of our humane center. We look forward to finding Captain the very best new home and a life filled with love and care.

Captain is a shepherd mix weighing in at about 60 pounds. He has a very calm, very sweet temperament but is extremely timid. With a little time and a little patience Captain does come out of his shell but for this reason we recommend a home without any children.
