Meet Iced Cappuccino "Cappy"

Looking for a gentle, sweet companion with a playful spirit? Meet Cappy — a lovable young pup with a heart as warm as her name! She is a 10 month old, 24lb. Terrier Mix.

Cappy is a timid girl at first and needs a little time and patience to warm up to new people and environments. Once she feels safe, her incredibly sweet, gentle personality shines through. She loves being close to her people and is happiest when she feels secure and loved. She is an absolute snuggle bug when she is comfortable!

This energetic young dog would thrive with an active family who can give her lots of exercise and playtime. A secure fenced yard is strongly recommended so she has space to run and burn off her puppy energy. In spite of her energy, Cappy is quiet. She rarely barks or whines.

Cappy LOVES toys. She absolutely adores other dogs and would benefit from having a canine companion in the home to show her the ropes and keep her entertained. She walks well on a leash but can be nervous with loud noises so double-leashing her would be important until she is comfortable. She sleeps quietly through the night in her crate and can be left there for a few hours while her people are out. Since she is still a puppy, she should not be left alone for long periods of time.

Cappy needs a patient family willing to continue her confidence-building. She has been attending dog training to boost her confidence and she would benefit from continued training or socialization. Cappy needs crate or cozy den space where she can retreat and feel safe. This is essential for her. She would do best with older children only, as younger kids may overwhelm her and she is still learning her size. Cappy will need continued support with house training as she is still learning. She is doing great with frequent trips outside and watching her cues.

Cappy is untested with cats but she has shown zero prey drive with rabbits, squirrels, and birds outside.

Cappy is the kind of dog who may take a little extra time in the beginning, but the reward is a loyal, loving companion who will steal your heart. If you’re looking for a gentle best friend and are willing to help her continue building confidence, Cappy may be your perfect match.
