About Caper

Caper is a sweet girl who came to us all the way from Tennessee. She can be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she's incredibly friendly, especially if she has a canine companion to bring out her playful side. Her favorite activities include spending time outdoors, being with other dogs, and going for leisurely walks. Caper enjoys a full day of exploring outside with her humans and dog friends, and she would be happiest in a home with a yard or open space where she can satisfy her curiosity. She's a medium-energy dog who prefers to wander and discover rather than engage in high-intensity play. Caper is looking for a peaceful home environment, preferably with adults, where she can dictate the terms of affection. A patient family who will cherish her despite her initial shyness will be rewarded with endless sweetness, plenty of pets, belly rubs, and enthusiastic tail wags whenever you come home. All she needs is a safe and loving home to truly blossom.

Ideal Home

Caper would do best in a quiet, adult-only home where she can set the pace for social interaction. She would love a yard or open space to explore. She may not be suited for a home with younger children as she can get spooked easily.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
