Alright coffee lovers, it’s time for Cappuccino to find his family! Born around August 4, this fluffy cup of cuteness came to us from northern Ontario where he was found as a stray. Though he started off a little shy, Cappy’s confidence is growing as quickly as he is, and he’s ready to cozy up and make himself at home with his new family!

If Cappuccino could design his perfect day, it would include lots of time outside and at least one other dog to play with! Cappy loves dogs and lucky for him, his fosters have a dog of their own to keep him company and show him the ropes. When he first arrived, Cappuccino was shy and cautious (not unusual for a stray pup), but once he became acquainted with the family dog, his confidence skyrocketed! Cappuccino thrives in a pack and would make a great second dog/little brother. He loves playing in the yard with the family dog and stretching his legs via zoomies! Given that he will be a big boy, Cappuccino would be best in a home with a fenced-in yard (plus we know how much those northern dogs love to hang in the show once winter rolls in!). He’s also discovering his Husky voice, which will eventually be too loud for accommodations with shared walls!

Having been fostered with children, we can confidently say that Cappuccino would make for a fantastic family dog! He is gentle with the resident kids and enjoys attention from people of all ages. Despite looking like a cuddly brown teddy bear, he hasn’t show much interest in snuggles but if scratches are on offer, he’s all in! As far as obedience goes, Cappuccino is working on the basics. He isn’t food motivated but given his Husky genes, he’ll have his commands down pat in no time. His adoptive family will need to add “leash skills” to the to-do list: Cappy gets most of his exercise in the backyard with the family dog until his vaccinations clear him to start trying out the leash. Cappuccino loves a chew toy and is smart enough to know that putting his teeth on anything other than his stuffies is a no-no!

Cappuccino is almost fully potty trained (only minor accidents and mainly marking behaviour) and has no issues with his crate. To keep his gorgeous fluffy coat looking its best, Cappuccino needs a family who is committed to regular grooming. Cappy is currently being treated for Giardia and Coccidia (all associated costs will be covered by MUTTS). He is microchipped and has received his first round of shots. His adoption fee will include his remaining puppy shots and neuter at six months.

Our sweet Cappuccino is ready to warm the hearts of his new family and can’t wait to meet them!
