Captain is currently enrolled in an intensive training program where he will remain for the next 6 to 8 weeks. Although he is a great dog with his "family", he is overprotective when he sees certain strange men. It was not noted in his previous write up that Captain has one eye missing. We have no idea how he lost his eye, but we suspect that he may have been abused by a man.

The trainer is confident that with the proper behavior modification program that Captain can once again learn that there is no need to go on the defensive when he is frightened. Everyone that gets to know Captain all agree that he is a wonderful dog, and we feel that he is definitely worth the time and money to help him regain his trust of men.

Please consider sending a donation to help with his training bills.

7/11/02 -  Captain is a joy.  He is in a foster home with a male and a female boxer and 2 small kids. He is a great dog. He loves everyone and everything. He is a fawn male boxer that is neutered and is great in the house all day and night.  He was a stray picked up by a city shelter in PA. He had his name tags on, and when the shelter called the family that owned him they said they would be right over to get him. Two weeks later he was still there. We took him right in.
