Captain is just misunderstood.
He's a big boy.
He's 115 pounds.
He was surrendered to us a year ago,
and it's just gonna take a special person to
accept all the love that he has.
I know your forever family's out there somewhere.
- Captain! You might get adopted today.
What do you think?
That's okay. Maybe next time.
Captain has spent a lot of time outdoors.
This is not uncommon for Great Pyrenees who might not be comfortable
inside on the couch with someone.
He probably hasn’t ever done that in his life before.
- Hey, Captain.
Are you gonna get adopted today?
We’re not giving up on you, Captain.
He’s got his quirks, but we know that special person is out there for him.
- Sit.
It’s been six months since Captain was surrendered back to us.
You’re tired of being in a kennel, huh?
You’re ready to go home.
We just got a really promising application in.
This one really stands out to me.
They’re a lovely couple named Bruce and Bridgitte.
They have tons of acres, so Captain can have an acre or two to himself.
- I looked at a video, and I got an attachment to Captain.
And I just thought, “This guy needs a really good home.
He deserves it. He really does."
We have a miniature dachshund, and she was getting lonely.
And that led us into thinking about expanding the family.
- Come on, Guinnie. Let's go meet your brother.
Here we go. Here we go.
- The day has finally come.
We’re taking Guinnie, and it’s like a dream come true.
- Do you want to go home today?
You want to get adopted?
- But Guinnie has the ultimate veto.
You know, if she doesn't like him, the deal’s off.
- He’s never really met a small dog before.
So. Hi, baby.
So we’ll see how that goes.
- So handsome.
- Come here. Come here.
Oh, you like treats. You like treats.
- I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone’s eyes light up
the way that Bruce’s did when Captain entered the yard.
- Good. Good. Let it go.
- And he did. Beautiful.
- I trained ya!
- Let’s see how big you are.
Let's see how big you are. Compared to me.
Who’s bigger? Who's bigger?
No, I’m bigger. No, I'm bigger.
- Bruce actually stretched out on the ground.
I can say that in the five years working at Woods,
I have never seen anybody else do that.
Hey. This is my pal.
This is gonna be my retirement buddy.
There we go. You met Captain.
We just knew that she was gonna get along with him,
and we knew that Captain was gonna get along with anyone.
- It’s just so rewarding to know that all of our hard work
with Captain, it’s all paying off.
And he’s finding his forever family.
He’s going home.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect family.
- Good boy!
Bye, Cap!
- Are you ready to go to your new home?
Oh boy, oh boy.
- Thank you very much. - Bye!
We got home and he ran right in the courtyard, saying,
“Hey, this is my home now."
- Captain is exploring.
Oh, he found the fountain.
- Whoa!
Want to use that tub?
He's so excited, so interested.
Everybody, brother and sister, let’s eat together.
There you go.
Oh, and your sister’s saying, “What are you doing up there?”
It’s five o’clock somewhere.
Captain is adjusting amazingly well.
- Okay, Captain.
Easy Street.
Lying down to eat your food.
- Say hi to Kayla.
Oh, look at her.
Oh!
You’ve got a big head.
As soon as I turn this off, you’re gonna start tearing it apart again, aren’t you?
Congratulations, Captain.
You hit the lotto.
You are adopted.
You have a home.
I’m trying to say that without choking up.
- He’s found a home, and he’s not going anywhere.
- Oh, you look so happy.
So contented.
