CAPTAIN JACK DIXON - CAROLINA DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Carolina Dog / Mixed. Ahoy there&hellip; they call me Captain Jack. I may not have always had a ship, but I&rsquo;ve got a big heart and I&rsquo;m ready to anchor it somewhere safe at last. I&rsquo;m about 4&ndash;5 years old, a 60-pound Carolina Dog&ndash;type mix, and I made quite the journey from Georgia up to NJ. These days, I love the simple things. Sunny spots to stretch out in, bird watching, peaceful walks, and car rides where I can be your quiet, curious co-pilot. I&rsquo;m a well- mannered gentleman; housebroken, loving my crate as a cozy safe space, and I&rsquo;m happiest just being near you, keeping you company. I&rsquo;ll be honest with you, though&hellip; my past left me with a few stories to tell. Before I was rescued, I was attacked by another dog over a nearby female in heat. It hurt me pretty badly, and I needed reconstructive surgery on my eye. It looks a little different now, but it doesn&rsquo;t bother me one bit. I just need a few daily eye drops, and I&rsquo;m good as new. I like to think it gives me a bit of pirate charm. Because of that, I can be timid around other dogs, especially at first. I&rsquo;m not aggressive; just a bit shy and cautious. I&rsquo;d do best in a calm, quiet home where I can feel safe and take my time settling in. While I&rsquo;m great with people including kids, a home with adults, or one without too much hustle and bustle, would be perfect for me as I find my sea legs again. Despite everything, I&rsquo;m still a happy boy. I still trust. I still love. I still believe my person is out there. I&rsquo;m neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines. I&#39;m ready to sail to a new start. My adoption fee is $415. So, what do you say? If you are ready to let an old sailor come home, then apply at ehrdogs and ask for CAPTAIN JACK DIXON.
