PLEASE READ HIS BIO BEFORE CALLING FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
Meet Capone, a handsome young golden retriever around a year old who’s still learning that the world can be a safe place. Capone previously lived with another dog, cats, and children, but shelter life has been a big adjustment for him.
Here at the shelter, Capone can be pretty skittish, especially around men and unfamiliar people. Fast movements and loud noises make him very jumpy, and he’s looking for a home that can offer him extra patience, understanding, and reassurance while he builds confidence.
Capone is still very young and has so much potential, but he will do best with someone who understands the breed well and is committed to giving him structure, guidance, and time to settle in.
****Because he’s not currently in that typical carefree “golden retriever personality” stage, we do not recommend him for first-time dog owners or first-time retriever owners.
With love, consistency, and patience, we truly believe Capone will blossom into a wonderful companion. Please call or PM us if you’d like to meet this sweet boy.
