Meet Caspian, a heartwarming 50-pound blend of Shepherd and Red Heeler, with a gentle spirit and a thoughtful heart. 🌟 At first glance, he may appear a bit hesitant, but trust me, this sweet boy has so much love to give! When he's in a new environment or around unfamiliar faces, he might take a moment to assess the situation. But just like a good friend, with some slow and kind introductions, he’ll quickly lean into you for comfort, making those initial moments an endearing dance of trust. ❤️ Caspian has a special way of showing affection—when he feels unsure, he might give you that classic doggy ‘hop’ to snuggle right next to you, sometimes even trying to find a spot on your lap. It’s his way of saying, ‘I need you close!’ 🤗 With a curious mind and a big appetite for tasty treats and chews, he’s eager to learn, bond, and grow with his forever family. 🌈 However, it’s important to note that sudden movements can startle him. To thrive, Caspian will need a calm, patient environment that understands his sensitivities. He’s just asking for a little extra love and gentleness as he navigates through the world. 🕊️ An active family that can engage him socially while allowing him to settle in at his own pace would be perfect! With enough love and reassurance, this charming boy will truly blossom into an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion. 🌼 Caspian's adoption fee is $225+tax, which covers all of his care during his stay at the humane society. Plus, if you're in Pennington County, just a heads up—there's a small additional $8 licensing fee at the time of adoption. Ready to make a lifelong friend?
