Capers, just about perfect! Found with another dog tethered at a shopping center, Capers found his way to GAWS, to impress the staff with his relaxed and easy going nature. Although a buff, entire male Am Staff, Capers has been a joy to assess, recovering from initial nervousness, he has been lovely to handle and walk, and he has proven to be solid socially with all dog types. Sometimes even helping with trickier assessments. There is still much unknown about Capers but we believe he would suit a variety of homes, with or without dogs, he may cope well with children and this can be gauged, and may either suit, calmer, or even more active homes. Capers however has not been cat tested, and can display excessive marking at times, something that may not be an issue in the home, and hopefully will ease post desex. Come meet this handsome man.
If Capers isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
