Cassio

Cassio is 1 of 9 puppies found in a culvert pipe and rescued in 2023. One puppy didn't make it, the remaining 8 came to our rescue. One was as adorable as the next. Cassio is estimated date of birth is April, 2023. He's microchipped and up to date on age appropriate core vaccines and neutered.

June of 2025 will mark 2 years Cassio has been with us in foster care and we really can't understand why this boy hasn't been adopted. Cassie would do best as an only dog! (but would consider the right dog companion, he still gets along with most of his doggie housemates.) Cassio gets along with all dogs in public and for playdates, LOVES to play with other dogs, but seems to prefer his home and his people to himself (He tried going to a home with a very sweet dog but was very dominant and territorial). If Cassio finds a dog he can live with, he would need to be fed separately as he food guards. This gorgeous boy with the soulful eyes currently weighs about 75lbs. Cassio is an energetic guy, he displays working dog behaviors and needs an active family, and REQUIRES a completely fenced in yard. New home MUST have adequate space considering his breed (American English Coonhound, adopted brother was DNA tested). Cassio can be a vocal guy and if he wants something, will let you know, therefore no shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc). He is house trained, crate trained and sleeps through the night. Cassio is extremely loving and always excited to see new people and dogs on walks. He is being fostered with numerous small dogs who he has been with since 2.5 months old and gets along with and respects all of them. He seems to prefer play with smaller dogs and is sometimes cautious with dogs bigger than him. Cassio has met a cat before and was respectful towards the kitty and eventually lost interest. Although Cassio tries to remember his manners, he doesn't know his size and is too jumpy for small children.
