About Castiel

Castiel is a lively, unique young pup currently fostered in Portland, OR and looking for a permanent home. He's about a year old—born at the end of February, which makes him a dreamy and creative Pisces. He’s likely a wire-haired terrier and chihuahua mix, standing out with his striking blue eyes and a wiry, white and tan coat that probably lands in the moderate to low-shedding range. Despite his hearing impairment, Castiel isn’t phased—he jumps onto the couch for cuddles, initiates play, and zooms around with plenty of spunk. He’s been great with respectful kids and has proven friendly with other dogs, striking a playful but not overwhelming balance in puppy energy. He’s also met a cat and mostly ignores them. Castiel thrives on affection and loves to please—he’ll need a family ready to invest in training and socialization as he grows, including continued crate and potty training. Castiel’s trusted around children, enjoys toys, and adapts easily, but benefits from daily exercise and mental stimulation. Ready for hikes or long walks, he’ll be thrilled to show off around your neighborhood. Guaranteed: you’ll get plenty of kisses from this guy. Castiel’s adoption includes full vetting, a microchip, and support from Three Little Pitties Rescue. He’s available for adoption across several states and eastern Canada, with professional transport and plenty of resources to get you started. Adoption is commitment, but Castiel is worth every bit of it. This could be the start of something paw-some.
