Capone's Story

Capone's story begins when he was about a year and a half old. My 16 year old son was volunteering at an animal rescue. He went with the rescue to the shelter to pick out dogs to fill 5 empty spots that they had. After picking 5 dogs, my son took one last walk around and called me.

"Mom, I'm at the shelter picking dogs. I was walking around while they're finishing up the paperwork and I found this dog all the way in the back. He's on his 10th day. Mom, they're putting him down at 5 o'clock. We already picked the dogs for the spots we have. I don't know what to do. He's a good boy. I can't leave him here."

"OK. Bring him home."

That was 10 years ago and it was one of the BEST decisions I've ever made.

He is the most chill dog I have ever known.  He loves hugs and kisses and scratches behind his ears. He's never worried about a thing because he knows how much he is loved. I could never imagine our life without Capone. I am so grateful every day that the stars aligned and we found each other.
