About Casper

Casper is a 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier with a white and cream coat and a big spirit, living in Pacific Grove, CA. He’s energetic for his age and always in the mood to play with toys. Despite a lymphoma diagnosis, he’s kept his upbeat personality and loves staying active. With cancer treatment underway in Monterey, he keeps up his lifestyle without letting illness slow him down. His future adopter can keep him on this treatment path—the rescue will cover ongoing medical costs if you continue his appointments in Monterey. Casper gets along well with cats and has experience living with another dog, though he’s working on resource guarding. He’d likely thrive as the only dog, where he won’t have to compete for attention or toys, but could also coexist with the right calm companion. He came to rescue as a stray and hopes for a soft landing where he can be part of someone’s daily routine—ideally with a home that understands senior dogs and is open to regular medical appointments. Casper was born under the sign of Libra, so he’s got a little extra charm and a knack for finding balance. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
