Captain Lee

Meet Captain Lee, a one-year-old terrier/chihuahua mix with a true captain's resilience and a heart full of love. Like his namesake from Below Deck, he's weathered a serious storm-after being hit by a car and suffering a broken femur and pelvis, he was brought into rescue for immediate surgical care. Thanks to that quick intervention and his own determined spirit, Captain Lee is now steadily on the road to recovery. Through it all, he's remained incredibly social and snuggly. His foster describes him as a total lovebug who enjoys being close to his people and soaking up affection. He's also shown friendly, calm interest in other dogs. While he's not cleared for full playtime just yet, he's been able to share space with other pups and coexist peacefully. Right now, Captain Lee's main job is healing. He's building strength with short, controlled leash walks and lots of rest. He's not fully bearing weight on his left leg yet, but don't tell him that-this little guy is already eager to get moving, especially if there are chickens in sight! Captain Lee will need an adopter who's committed to continuing his recovery and giving him the time and support he needs to fully heal. In return, you'll get a loyal, affectionate companion with a remarkable story and an even bigger heart. All aboard for a lifetime of love-Captain Lee is ready to be your first mate.
