🐶 Breed: German Shepherd | Age: 5.8 years | Weight: 87 lbs

Meet Captain — a stunning 5.8-year-old German Shepherd with a calm presence and a heart full of quiet devotion. This 87-pound gentleman has the kind of steady energy that soothes the soul. Found as a stray, Captain is now ready to leave his past behind and begin a new chapter filled with love, comfort, and companionship.

Captain is a dream on leash—he slows down with even the softest pressure and walks beside you like a seasoned pro. He’s a thoughtful explorer, nose to the ground, soaking in every scent and sound. While he may seem reserved at first, give him a little time and space and he’ll reward you with a gentle face nuzzle or soft kiss. Captain takes treats delicately, knows how to “sit,” and is tolerant during grooming.

He would thrive in a calm home—either with a well-matched dog companion or as the one and only pup soaking up all the love. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who brings grounding energy and soulful connection, Captain may be your perfect match.
