He has a beautiful coat and those eyes! Who can resist? Casper the Friendly Dog, is ready for his forever home! He is looking to fill it with his love, happy energy, and companionship! He’s a smart fellow, too, and learns quickly; he’s now fully and reliably house and crate-trained and now working on basic obedience and leash manners. He’s entering adolescence, with a will and mind of his own but is making wonderful progress with positive training, consistency, and patience. Casper has a great, joyous spirit about him and loves, loves, loves to play – tug-of-war and any kind of ball – fetch and tether ball, too. He has good energy, although not “over-the-top” and some solid play and run time in the back yard with a long walk or chasing a laser light will get him ready to snuggle with you on the couch and watch TV before he retires to his crate. He sleeps in his crate all night very well but loves to sleep with his human, too, if he gets the chance. He goes into “baby mode” at night and just wants to snuggle and be held. Casper is looking for a few things in a forever home to be safe and happy: an active owner with good dog experience who has the time and patience to spend training a young, strong dog (hound and/or terrier experience would be very useful); experience in training using positive techniques; a fenced yard where he can get his play on; to be the only dog would be ideal; and, while his foster parent is a mom, he really responds well to men, so it would be ideal to have a man in the home that would spend time with him and treat him well. Though Casper wants to play with other large, female dogs, he isn't really good at understanding their signals about when to back off and stop playing. He isn't a fan of little dogs or male dogs and likes to keep his toys and things to himself...just a heads up. Therefore, we are looking for him to be an only dog in the home. Casper seems to be much more human-focused anyway so not having another dog won't be a problem. He has meet his fosters great-nieces (7 and 9) and did great with them; they are dog savvy kids. Plus he still nips so kids should always be monitored with this friendly ghost as he still plays a bit rough. So it is probably best for Casper to be in a home with young adults/adults. Casper has great hearing and will let you know if anyone is at the door. He makes a great watch dog. DOB 01/07/2022, male Hound/Husky mix. Casper is adorable and weighing in at around 45 pounds. He will likely get a little bigger but not over 50-55 or so pounds based on his size now. As part of Casper's $250 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
