About Cassie

Cassie is a large mixed-breed girl, around three years old, with short black, white, and cream fur that catches the light. Spayed, vaccinated, and house trained, she’s ready for a smooth transition to a new home. Cassie balances warmth and independence—she likes to cuddle up with her people, tag along from room to room, or just laze in the sun on her own terms. Her nature is gentle, affectionate, and grounded; she gives loyalty freely to those she knows well. Cassie’s slow to warm up to strangers, so she does best with people who respect her pace and understand her boundaries. She’s crate trained, making downtime easy. While she gets along with several dogs at the rescue, she usually needs time to feel safe with new dogs. She’s the type to thrive with a stable home environment, a fully fenced six-foot yard, and a person or family who won’t leave her crated all day. Cassie is for someone who appreciates a dog who offers affection but knows how to enjoy her independence too. With time, Cassie settles in and adapts beautifully. If you’re searching for a thoughtful, loving companion who will bond deeply with her people, Cassie could be the missing piece. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
