Reggie
Emotional Support Animal
Captain Reginald Edward Fantastic, aka Reggie, is a senior pit bull who found himself in a shelter in southeast Los Angeles during the tumultuous summer of 2020. Kathryn found him via desperate pleas on social media about his impending demise if he wasn’t adopted. She scooped him up with the intention to get him adopted by the perfect family. It wasn’t long before he charmed his way into her heart. He has a sweet and loving disposition, enjoys leisurely walks, treats, a good snooze, and is an expert cuddler.
