Cassie is about 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old.

While Cassie's striking beauty will catch your eye in her photos, it's her personality that truly shines. Sweet, affectionate, and happiest near her people, she's the definition of a "Velcro dog." Whether she's following her foster from room to room, relaxing on a nearby dog bed, or curling up beside a canine friend, Cassie simply loves being part of the family.

Cassie thrives in the company of other dogs and would benefit from a playful canine companion. She has formed a wonderful bond with the Collie in her foster home, enjoying games both indoors and out, while also coexisting respectfully with a more independent dog. Cassie has adapted beautifully to each dog's personality. Friendly and social, she greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and has charmed many on public outings. She even shares her home with cats, who are still deciding what to make of her puppy enthusiasm. Cassie, however, is always gentle and eager to be their friend.

Smart and eager to learn, Cassie is highly food-motivated and already knows "sit," "paw" and "down," while continuing to work on "leave it," "stay" and "come." She's also improving her leash skills and clearly enjoys learning new things. Car rides are a favorite-she hops right in, rides calmly, and has no issues with motion sickness. She's fully house-trained with no accidents and is respectful in the home… aside from one creative moment when a Lincoln Log looked like fair game!

Because Cassie loves her people so much, she can be a bit vocal when left alone, but she settles with time. Her separation anxiety and crate training are works in progress, and she continues to improve each day. Having another dog in the home will help build her confidence. With her playful energy, she'll do best in a home with a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and play. She may be too exuberant for very young children, but for an active family seeking a loyal, loving, and fun-loving companion, Cassie is ready to fill that role, and your heart, beautifully. She'll love you with her whole heart, happily join you on every adventure, and always be eager to be by your side.
