About Caspian

Caspian is a sweet Lab mix looking for a patient family to call his own. At around 5 years old, he has a loyal disposition and thrives on building trust with his people. Once comfortable, he loves to play with balls, tug toys, and gets a kick out of being brushed and having his paws wiped. He knows several commands like sit, down, come, shake, and stay, and he does best with a consistent routine. Though he's affectionate, Caspian can be a bit shy, especially around new people, particularly unfamiliar men and those with beards, who make him particularly nervous. When uncertain, he may bark or growl, so slow introductions are crucial to help him feel safe. He can also be strong on the leash, sometimes pulling during walks, but treats and positive reinforcement help a lot. Caspian would thrive as the only pet in the home; he hasn't lived with cats and has shown reactivity toward other dogs. He hasn’t been left home alone, so a family willing to help him learn to be comfortable with that would be ideal. With patience, consistency, and love, Caspian is ready to become a devoted companion. He’s looking for someone who will see past his worries and give him a warm, loving home to flourish in. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
