A Bouvier-X Male named Cap'n Crunch
Cap'n Crunch is presently Adopted
Hey, everybody, I’m back! Sadly, my adoption did not work out but I’m an eternal optimist and just know that next time will be for keeps.
Cap’n Crunch is my name and I am a 5-year-old, Bouvier-X, who was given up because my family had no time for me. Do you remember the litter of five puppies that were up for adoption a few months ago who were named after different cereals (Special K, Total, Cheerio, Mueslix, and Kashie)? Guess who’s their Daddy? Yup, me…. Cap’n Crunch (aka The Dogfather). My days of siring puppies have come to and end and that suits me just fine. One thing we don’t need is more puppies brought into this world when pounds, shelters and rescues have no room to stack them! All the Volunteers think I’m a very handsome dude with a cool personality. I get along very well with other dogs and I’m friendly and sociable with humans too. I’d say that I’m just an all-around good guy. I know the ins and outs of living in a home. I so have some separation anxiety as I tend to bark when I am alone; so I would not be suitable for apartment/condo living. I need a feline free home—cats and I just don’t go well together. The best years of my life are ahead of me. Would you like to share them with me? Please fill in the Adoption Form and ask for Cap’n Crunch.

Bonjour,
Pourriez-vous s.v.p. me dire quel est le temps d’attente normal pour une adoption? Je suis à Calgary et je devrai réserver un billet d’avion et prendre des journées de congé pour aller chercher Cap’n crunch et le ramener ici. Aussi, savez-vous quel est son poids?
J’ai envoyé mon application pour Cap’n crunch la semaine dernière. Vous devez être très occupés à trouver des familles pour tous vos protégés et c’est pourquoi je n’ai pas encore eu de vos nouvelles
Un grand merci pour votre travail et dévouement auprès de ces chiens et des familles adoptives.
P.S.: J’adore les photos que vous prenez des chiens…leurs caractères sont très évidents et vous les mettez vraiment en valeur. J’attends de vos nouvelles. Bonne journée
Carine, les benevoles sont tres occupes de ces temps ci. Si vous voulez avoir des nouvelles de votre application, il est mieux d’envoyer un couriel “contact us” du menu en haut de la page.
Bonne chance…c’est un tres beau chien qui merite une belle et longue vie.
Donnez nous des nouvelles si vous etes la chanceuse qui est choisie!!!!
Bonjour,
Merci pour l’information. Je viens d’envoyer un courriel à ‘contact us’.
On espère vraiment être choisis pour Cap’n Crunch. Nous nous en occuperons avec beaucoup d’amour.
Normalement, cela prend combien de temps le processus de sélection? Il n’y a pas cette information sur votre site.
Merci et bonne journée,
Carine tout depends - la premiere fois que j’ai adoptee c’etait une semaine a huit jours ( tres stresser pour notre famille ) avant que j’ai recu mon appel telephonnique. La deuxieme fois, simplement quelques jours - puis la troisieme fois en dedans de quatres jours. Ouap… 3 adoptions et ont ne sais jamais… possiblement une 4 ieme mais pas toute suite notre chienne est presentement agee de 13 ans et ont l’aime fort fort. Nous savons que les Yorkies c’est 13-15 ans puis notre Belle fut adopter a 9 semaines a toujours recu les soins necessaires donc… encore 2 ans s.v.p. mais nous ne controllons pas le future n’est ce pas.
Merci Lily.
On se croise les doigts qu’on va nous appeller et que bientôt Cap’n Crunch fera parti de notre famille.
Merci pour l’information Lily…on espère vraiment un coup de fil depuis la semaine passée tous les jours et on attend des nouvelles avec beaucoup d’impatience.
Bonne fin de journée.
Carine tu nous donne des nouvelles aussitôt que en as… je sais que parfois l’attente nous semblent long mais quelqu’un va vous répondre que votre demande soit favorable ou non. Je te souhaite bonne chance.
Carine .. nous vous souhaitons bonne chance !!
Cap’n Crunch semble un adorable chien ..
Bonne chance à Cap’n Crunch et à toi aussi, Carine! Il est vraiment superbe et il a l’air très sympathique!
Merci pour tous vos commentaires et encouragements. Demain, on rencontrera Capt’n Crunch et on a SUPER hâte de le voir et de lui donner une très belle vie.
Salut Carine:
Sommes en vacances - finalement trouvez un coin ou j’ai access a l’internet… FELICITATION…. wow les p’tit pitous de chez Animatch font du chemin
Calgary pour vous autres - France pour d’autre - les Etats -Unis - Ont et NB… l’amour pour nous pitous n’a pas de frontiere.
Je suis contente pour toi Carine ... tu nous donnes de tes nouvelles via FanMail…. encore une fois Felicitation - longue longue vie .
Bonne chance Cap’n Crunch et Carine .. Ce chien est magnifique .. tu nous donnes de tes nouvelles
On vous donnera des nouvelles dès qu’on le pourra sur FanMail, avant ça il y aura un long voyage de retour chez nous. Lily, c’est vrai qu’il n’y a pas de limite pour l’amour des animaux. Ils nous apportent beaucoup.
Donc, vous allez venir le chercher via voiture et non via avion.. car contrairement a la petite Bitzy, Cap’n Crunch lui a besoin d’un siege au complet
Si vous prennez la route, soyez prudent et superb de bon voyage vous autres !!!
Voilà, Capt’n Crunch fait maintenant partie de notre famille
Il est un chien très calme et doux et nous convient parfaitement. Nous sommes allés le chercher en avion et on retourne en auto. Cela nous donnera le temps de nous habituer à lui et lui à nous et en plus on en profitera pour visiter du pays. Merci à Animatch:)
Quelle bonne nouvelle! Bravo Cap’n Crunch! Félicitations à Carine et la famille, et de bonheur avec votre nouveau poilu! Est-ce qu’il changera de nom ou gardera-t-il le même?
Youpie!!!!! Quelle bonne nouvelle!!! Felicitations!!!! Bon retour a Calgary. J’ai hate d’avoir de tes nouvelles (et photos) sur fanmail.
Sorry to see you back - especially from such a distance - at least your adoptive parents kept their agreement and brought you back. Your next home will hopefully be your last…. keep up the faith .... just a matter of time.
Talking of time, on Sept 3rd, it will be a year that we have adopted our little man ( The Great Destroyer ) Kody !!! Time simply flies unreal !!!
Captain’ Crunch that we had renamed Rocco is a fantastic dog, great with kids and with people. He has a great disposition, is calm and knows his commands, loves kisses and hugs, does not have a mean bone in him, and gives you his paw when you have him sit. He just wants to be by your side at all times and really enjoys spending time with people. We are really sad it did not work out however we loved him enough to make sure to drive him back where they took good care of him. We really hope he will find a great family to adopt him and love him…because he really deserves it. We will keep and eye out for you sweetheart and wish you a happy, happy life.
Wow, good for you for keeping your word and bringing him back to the center from Calgary. You give such a glowing testimony. I’m not sure I understand what happened…was it the separation anxiety?
He is such a sweet boy…I am sure he will land on all fours!!!!
Thanks Carine for caring ..Sorry it did not work out .. At least you toke the time to bring him back to the shelter where he is safe and will well be taken for.. I am sure that the wonderful people at Animatch will find him a loving and a forever home .. So Cap’n Crunch welcome back and have fun with all your friends at the shelter ..
Diandpat, Rocco only deserves the best and unfortunately we were unable to give him that any more. He was never left alone since we have had him (my husband works from home and I work from home 3/5 days a week), so we never saw any issue with separation anxiety. The problem was us and not Rocco. I had a knee operation a few months ago and my husband just tore a ligament in his shoulder last week so we were unable to give Rocco the exercise he needed and we did not feel it was fair to him to only give him a short walk or leave him in the backyard. He loves his walks
and is great when meeting other dogs, he is one to socialize with other pooches and humans alike 
We wanted to keep him balanced and that can only be achieved by giving him the exercise he needs…unfortunately, my husband with his shoulder and me with my knee were unable to do that any longer and we want him to have a happy, happy life. He is a fantastic and happy dog and we wish a wonderful family will be able to give him a wonderful and balanced life. We loved him enough to give him that chance even if it was heart wrenching for us. Sherri and Helene have been great in supporting us during this difficult decision and we know he is in good hands until he finds his forever home.
Don’t you hate getting old and everything starts to break? LOL Hope you both heal well. As for Rocco, he has already had more people take better care of him and Animatch and in your home then for all the years prior. He will definitely end up in the perfect place and he will have you and your selflessness to thank for that.
Hello!
I’m reading through capncrunch biography, and he sounds wonderful! I read that he’s not good with cats, but how do you think he’d be around rabbits? We have two that are free run rabbits and would like to find a dog that will be accepting of this!
Thanks
Now that’s sbulte! Great to hear from you.
We have just put in our application for Cap’n'Crunch. We have a great home for him. We can’t wait to hear from Animatch.
Good luck Sabrina with the application for Cap’n’Crunch. We hope that it works out for you and Cap’n’Crunch.. He has been through so much and we ALL HOPE this is for GOOD !!!! his permanent home ..
We really hope we are accepted. We have a large house and a very large backyard. We have a 2 yr old Aussiedoodle looking for a friend and 4 young children who know all the rules of how to act around a dog. Plus since we have had large dogs their whole lives, they are used to being bumped around by big dogs, lol. Also I am at home with the kids so he would not be home on his own very much. Fingers crossed.
Sabrina, you seem like the perfect match for Cap’n’ Crunch
good luck to you and your family
Hi Sabrina,
We had Captain Crunch for 3 weeks and while he had him we saw how much he loved being around kids. He is a very sweet dog, not a mean bone in him, loves to be around people and needs his hugs and kisses. Your family sounds like a great match and I am sure your kids will be thrilled to have him around and he will love the attention. He knows his commands and loves to give his paw when you ask him to sit. He loves to be in the same room as everyone and often just comes up for a hug. I wish you a great life with him.
I hope he gets to go live with you Sabrina. He looks so much like my Porto who I lost in June to Lymphoma at age12…. I wonder if he isn’t a Portuguese Water Dog?
Our vet said he was probably mixed with a Portuguese water dog however couldn’t be 100% sure unless a DNA test was done.
Hi Sabrina,
We are happy to read your family has adopted Cap’n Crunch. How are things working out with him? All the best to you.
Hello everyone,
We have adopted Captain and we are very happy with him. He is a great dog. He gets along well with our dog and our children. He barks A LOT when outside but that is something we are working on. He will have a long and happy life with us.
Sabrina
