My story

Captain is a 5- to 7-year-old, super sweet and loving Shih Tzu boy. He may be a little shy at first, but he quickly warms up and doesn’t meet a stranger. This handsome black and white dog was found as a stray and was severely matted, with the fur around his eyes so tangled that it caused him trouble seeing. It was heartbreaking to see his face in that condition.  After receiving grooming and visiting the vet, he was diagnosed with severe dry eye, a common condition in Shih Tzus. Fortunately, dry eye is manageable, and Captain will just need to use eye drops for the rest of his life. We believe he has been dealing with this condition for a long time, but it doesn’t seem to have bothered him. He started on medication immediately and is now on the road to more comfortable eyes!  Captain shows no negative effects from his time as a stray. He is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet—so lovable that you’ll want to pick him up and give him a good squeeze. He enjoys love and attention but is not demanding and doesn’t need to be right by your side; he appreciates being adored. Captain would make a great addition to a loving family or a couple. If you are an empty nester looking for a loving companion, or a single person seeking a special little friend, Captain is the perfect match for you. He loves all adults and is so sweet that he would likely be fine with older children as well.  Captain has been neutered, is current on all his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. To be considered for his forever family and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. An approved application and adoption fee are required. (Captain is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)July 10, 2025, 5:13 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt COURAGEOUS CAPTAIN, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
