Capone is Your Calaveras County Animal Services Pet of the Week!
Posted by: News_Desk on 12/20/2020 01:56 PM
San Andreas, CA... Meet Capone, a sweet hound mix of about three years of age. A sensitive boy who startles easily to sound and sudden movement, Capone has a lot of love to give once he is comfortable with his person. He has made great strides as volunteers work with him to build confidence, though there remains room for improvement. He will need a patient person or family with older children who can provide a calm and soothing environment as they build on his trust. Capone would also benefit from obedience training, to help better learn his leash manners. We believe he is housebroken, too, since he keeps his kennel clean.
