About Casper Poe

Meet Casper Poe. Casper Poe is a 3.5-year-old male Shih Tzu mix who arrived at CAMO as a stray, emaciated and frightened. He currently weighs just 11 pounds and is still underweight, needing some time to heal. Despite his tough past, he is beginning to show his affectionate and loving personality. He enjoys being cuddled, and it's heartwarming to see him slowly let his guard down. New experiences tend to scare him, making him timid around unfamiliar faces and situations. When he feels threatened, he might perform an "alligator roll" or attempt to escape, and he is still getting used to walking on a leash. Casper is also working on his potty training. He requires a gentle, understanding adopter who knows that healing takes patience and trust can’t be rushed. A secure, escape-proof home is essential for him to feel safe. Casper is heartworm negative, neutered, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He doesn't ask for a perfect home; he just wants a chance. He needs someone to celebrate his small victories with him, stand by him on tough days, and help him realize that the world can be a kind place. If you're patient and compassionate, Casper could be the loving companion you didn't know you were looking for. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
