Thank You! ***AND our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND TAKE HIM OR HER HOME! Casper IS A GORGEOUS Heeler-Aussie mix. The perfect blend of loving, smart, and loyal; Casper is a great size and would be an excellent playmate or single dog. Casper is lovable and gentle but he’s still a herding mix so he has incredible energy. He is very intelligent, playful and loving and eager to please his people. Casper will be as energetic as you need when outdoors to walk, run, play and hike but when home he will also happily snuggle on the sofa, binge TV or just lie at your feet while you’re working. Casper is very loving and smart but deserving of more attention than owners can give with baby on the way; he would enjoy continued training and a lot of playtime and exercise. Casper has been around female dogs and various cats. He knows basic commands and is completely housebroken and crate-trained. Casper is a great walking, jogging and running partner. Casper is really smart, a quick learner and eager to please. Leash trains quite well but could use some continued attention. We really want to find Casper a home with a yard and an active human companion or companions. He would also love to run around with other dogs - he’s just better for teenagers and adults not small children because he needs herding breed experience.

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD. Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION.
