About CASSIDY

Meet Cassidy! Soft Heart, Steady Courage. Cassidy is all sweetness on the inside. She arrived at the shelter with another dog and is currently part of the Shy Dog Program, bravely learning that the world isn't such a scary place after all. And guess what? She's getting braver every single day. With the people she knows, Cassidy is affectionate, gentle, and quietly loving. She doesn't rush into relationships; she lets them bloom, and when they do, they're real. She's wonderfully dog-friendly and lights up when she meets other pups through the fence, offering enthusiastic play bows like, "Hi, let's be friends immediately." Cassidy is far more interested in treats than toys or balls, and she loves sniffing around her environment in search of tasty treasures. If you're looking for a gentle soul who will grow more confident with love, patience, and maybe a pocket full of treats, Cassidy is ready to start her next chapter with you.

Cassidy is really remarkable in a lot of ways - she never barks! Even when the deer or another dog goes by the yard. But she does talk - with lots to say in the morning before her walk. She is 100% house-trained (from day 1) and has never had an accident in the house, even when left alone for several hours. She sits, stays, and after a lot of work, she now trusts her foster mom enough to come when called.
