Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Who wants the most perfect dog? Casey is here waiting for you! This charming little lady is an 8-year-old, 8-pound Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua mix who found herself seeking a new home after her previous owner became homeless.

Casey delights in playing with toys and running around the yard, showing just how spirited and playful she can be. A true social butterfly, she quickly forms deep bonds and will become attached to her new person in no time. She deserves someone who adores her just as much in return. Please note that a fenced yard is required for her adoption, and any current pets should be up to date on their vaccinations.
