A little about them

Casper is a handsome Golden Retriever with an energetic, playful, and goofy personality. He can be nervous during transitions and is looking for a patient, dog-experienced adopter who will help him feel secure with a predictable routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of TLC. He loves toys, food, attention, chasing a ball, and cozy snuggle spots.

Ideal Home

Casper would do best in a home with a fenced yard rather than an apartment. He may be able to live with another dog after introductions. His history with cats and children is unknown; dog-savvy children ages 5 and older may be considered at the counselor's discretion, with slow, structured introductions for cats and initial introductions at the shelter for potential dog or child matches.

Ongoing Health

Casper is vaccinated and is scheduled to be neutered before going home.

Training & Support

Casper appears to be house-trained. He will benefit from consistent positive-reinforcement training, a predictable routine, patience, and lots of affection. Positive reward-based obedience classes are not required but would be beneficial.

Application Details

  • Adoption begins by contacting the provider through Wags.
  • A dog-experienced adopter is recommended.
  • Potential introductions at the shelter help ensure a good match.
