Our foster dog Cappy has been with us for almost two weeks now and is settling into our household and getting comfortable with our routine. He's really well behaved for an 11 month old pup, hasn't had any accidents, and is very receptive to positive training and treats.
Cappy is available to adopt from the Oregon Coast Humane Society in Florence, Oregon.
Shadofax's passing left a huge dog sized hole in our hearts and lives. In the 18+ years we've been together there has always been a dog or dogs in our house and lives. Without dogs in it, the house felt cavernous, quiet, empty.
As a way to help us navigate life without Shadowfax and to help get a pup out of the shelter until they can find their permanent home, we started fostering Cappy, a 10 month old pup from the Oregon Coast Humane Society in Florence, Oregon. He's helping us deal with our grief from losing Shadowfax and we're giving him a place to hang until he finds his forever family, a win-win for everyone.
Cappy is a really good pup. It's been so long since we've had a young dog in the house that we've forgotten what it's like. There are sustained bouts of energy and enthusiasm followed by crashes and naps. He's also getting acclimated to our schedule and the sights and sounds of our household, a big adjustment for him that he's mastered quite well.
