About Casper

Hi, I'm Casper I can be a little shy at first, but I warm up with a bit of time and patience. I'm still getting used to everything here, so we're learning more about my personality each day-but I'm already showing I've got a sweet side. I'd love a home that will let me settle in at my own pace and help me come out of my shell. Come meet me and see if we're a good match
