About Cassie

Cassie is a young Anatolian Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix with a knack for picking up new things fast. She’s just over a year old and already a solid 75 pounds, with a short white and black coat. Lively and outgoing, she’s full of affection and goofy energy, making any room brighter. Cassie is playful, well-mannered, and eager to learn—she thrives in an active home that will keep her mentally and physically stimulated. She’s used to a routine and enjoys car rides, hiking, walks, and exploring new places. Cassie genuinely enjoys the company of people and other dogs, easily adapting to pack life. She even does well with children and cats in her foster home, showing a balanced temperament around different species and ages. Abandoned young, Cassie hasn’t let that slow her down. She’s highly food, toy, and praise motivated, responding quickly to training and nearly completely house and crate-trained. Cassie’s leash manners and recall are strong, and she’s learning basic obedience at a quick pace. Her foster notes that ongoing training and socialization matter for her future; she’ll do best in a home with other well-mannered dogs for her to model. Because of her working-breed instincts and smarts, Cassie isn’t suitable for first-time or inexperienced owners. She needs someone committed to continued, daily training and active living. Cassie is spayed and fully vaccinated. If you have the energy and dog-savvy to match her future, this clever girl is ready to become your best friend. Ready to fall in love?
