With the loss of Capone, we are all having a really hard time. Capone was everyone’s dog but the bond he shared with my husband was something truly special. Losing him has been incredibly painful, especially coming just three weeks after my husband lost his father. It’s been a heavy, heartbreaking time for our family.

Capone went missing for six days after our two year old who had just recently learned how to open doors, accidentally let him out. We searched, hoped, and held onto faith but unfortunately, we didn’t get the ending we prayed for. This page is not only to honor Capone and keep his spirit alive, but also to help bring a little light back into our home.

I know some may feel it’s “too soon” to get another dog, and I completely understand that perspective. But I truly believe that love doesn’t replace it grows. No dog could ever replace Capone or the unique soul he had, but opening our hearts to another pup could help begin to heal what feels so shattered right now.

My husband has always dreamed of having a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP). It’s something he’s talked about for so long. With everything we’ve been through recently, finances are tight, and I know these dogs can be expensive and sometimes hard to find sooner rather than later but still, I want to try.

This is my husband’s dream dog, and I would do anything to bring even a small amount of comfort back into his life. My hope is to surprise him with a GSP puppy something to help him smile again, to give him a companion, and to remind him that even in loss, there can still be love and new beginnings.

If you feel led to donate or even just share this, it would mean more than words can express to our family. Thank you for helping us honor Capone’s memory and take a step toward healing.
