History: Casey is a super beautiful puppy who arrived to rescue at just a few days old with her littermates and mom, Adora. They settled into rescue and unfortunately broke with ringworm :( The good news- they are doing really really well and on the mend so are now officially ready to find their forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Casey is strikingly beautiful with the most unique brindle coat that turns heads wherever she goes! As of mid-March, sweet Casey is 5 months old and weighs 30 lbs. She is expected to grow into a medium to large dog. As one of Adora’s remaining three puppies, Casey is the smallest of the trio. Despite being in her foster home for only a short time, she is mastering potty training (when kept on a schedule) and keeps her kennel clean at night for about 6 hours, takes a potty break, and then goes back to her kennel for a few more hours of sleep. 

Casey would be perfectly content as the only pup in the house but could also live with other doggy siblings. Her reaction to cats is unknown. Casey currently lives with two dogs and two young children (ages 3 and 6). The youngest child’s unpredictable movements and loud outbursts can be a little intimidating, so she tends to keep some distance. She has no issues with the more respectful 6-year-old and LOVES the adults in the family. Casey is more independent than her brother, Danny. She’ll curl up and take a nap alone when she’s tired but loves a good belly scratch and snuggle when the opportunity arises.

Casey is relatively quiet, though she may vocalize when the garbage truck passes by or when a neighbor's dog is howling. However, she quickly settles down. Casey goes bananas for food and treats. She’ll do anything for a yummy snack, which has made leash training and potty-training progress better than expected! Despite her love for food, she has shown no signs of resource guarding, which is a huge plus when living with other dogs and small children.

Overall, Casey is a beautiful sweetheart. She is very expressive and lights up when she sees her foster mom and dad in the morning. She has stolen our hearts and will undoubtedly do the same with her new family if given the chance.

Adoption Fee: $750 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
