Capri is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix with a tender heart and a gentle soul. Weighing 55 pounds, she’s a sensitive girl who’s slowly learning that the world isn’t as scary as it once seemed. While the kennel environment makes her nervous, once she’s outside, Capri reveals a sweet, affectionate nature—and she’s hoping to find a patient, loving adopter who can help her grow in confidence.
