About Cassie

Meet Cassie, a delightful English Setter ready to share her heart with you. At nine years old, she’s the epitome of a devoted companion, forming a close bond with her human, particularly women. Cassie enjoys the comforts of home, relishing her spot on the couch or snuggling up beside you in bed. While she’s calm indoors, her Setter spirit shines when she’s outside, where she loves patrolling her yard and chasing after squirrels. Cassie does best in a secure environment with a four-foot fence, where she can explore safely without a large yard. While she prefers the company of women and may be best suited for a quieter household, she has shown she can get along with cats and is likely to thrive with respectful teenagers or adults. Though Cassie displays a bit of stubbornness typical of her breed, she is responsive to training and steadily improving in her house-training. She enjoys car rides and is learning to manage her separation anxiety with the help of medication to ease her transition to a more typical indoor life. Cassie is spayed, fully vetted, and seeking a patient, loving home that can provide her with a consistent routine. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal companion who is equally content exploring the outdoors and sharing cozy evenings at home, Cassie is waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
