Description:

Meet Caprica!

Caprica, or Rica as she’s called, is remaining optimistic about finding her special forever home.

Her original owners regrettably had to give her up as she did not adjust well to the new baby in the home.

She is a sweet girl who's mature, and well behaved. She signals to go outside, loves soft/squeaky toys, and loves to be brushed! She was raised in a home with a cat and did well. She does not need to be crated when left alone and is absolutely perfect in the car. Now that the weather is cool, her foster owner lets her come with on errands which she gets very excited about!

She’s not an excessive barker but will alert to people approaching the house or yard. She is protective of her space, toys, and surroundings and therefore, would do best as an only dog in a quiet or mellow neighborhood. Her owners will need to be willing to work with her on properly greeting strangers that visit the house. Her foster owners have consulted a trainer on the best technique and have had some success.

The coonhound in her comes out when it’s time to chase squirrels! She trees them, bays, and bites at the bark in true hound fashion!

Because of her personal space issues, this is not a dog for a person who wishes to take a dog into crowded areas like festivals and fairs. She does ok walking around on paths though.

Her namesake is a planet in the Battlestar Galactica series and is named after the Zodiac sign of Capricorn. These dogs are deeply loyal and devoted which is exactly her personality. She bonds easily and strongly.

Please help us find this girl the furever home that she deserves!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
