Pets of the week: Captain and Lucy
Dog: Introducing Captain, the dog that likes to march to the beat of his own drum. This two-year-old large mixed breed is full of love and ready to jump right into your home. Captain loves going on hikes, playing tug-a-war, fetch, and car rides. Captain has lived with young kids who loved to cuddle with him, and there have been no problems with him and kids. Although Captain has lived with another dog, he sometimes wants to show off his dominance. When another dog is present he might tug on the leash. Captain knows some basic commands, but hasn’t had any formal training, and might benefit from some more. If this dog sounds like the perfect fit for your home, then come on down and visit Captain!
Cat: Lucy is very sweet with an extremely long tail and a calm attitude, though she may get more adventurous in her new home. She was born in about 2021 and while you may find her hiding inside a nest when you visit, she will probably come right out for you, especially if she thinks you have something interesting to sniff. This good-natured cat gets along well with her cat roommates, but we don’t know how she feels about dogs and young children yet. Because she’s young and flexible, she may do just fine with careful introductions. One warning about Lucy: Because she is mostly white, especially on her ears, she should live indoors because over time her pale skin may sunburn and develop cancer.
