Dog Gotcha Day Captions
If you have adopted your dog and are unsure of their actual birthday, many people choose to celebrate their pup’s gotcha day instead. A dog’s gotcha day is typically the anniversary of their adoption.

Here are some cute dog gotcha day captions to try out…
- Happy Gotcha Day! You make the world a better place!
