My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I am Casper, just like the friendly ghost! And can't you tell why I'm named after such a beloved character? Just look at my gorgeous white coat. But enough about that. I'm looking for a home and a house (preferably with 12+ kiddos) where I can run, play, get all the zoomies out and of course, get all the cuddles. I'm a smart boy - I already know "sit," and I picked up the "place" command immediately. I know I could learn so much more from you. A lot of fun dog activities, long walks and possibly nose work games would be great for a pup like me. So what do you think? Need a friendly Casper in your life? Come on down, meet and greet recommended for all household members.

Ruff!

A team member adds, "Casper is a sweetheart. He's still a puppy, so he's always super-excited to see you. He's easily redirected with treats, whether you're working on "sit" or getting him leashed. He absolutely loves rawhides, and giving him one to carry on his walks or just chew on when you're hanging out solves a lot of his puppy antics. He's eager to learn and please, and he's picking up "sit" and "place" very quickly."

Another team member adds, "Casper's favorite thing to do on his walks is find a bench, jump up, wait for you to sit down and then sprawl out next to you with his rawhide while you pet him. He's a puppy with a lot of energy, but he's also a calm cuddlebug in the right environment. He could stay on a bench next to you outside for hours, chewing his rawhide, snuggling and watching the world go by. When people and dogs pass by, he's curious and very polite, wagging and sniffing before going back to his rawhide and making sure you're still petting him."
