About Casper

Meet Casper! This perfect little package of love is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing in at a petite 13 pounds. He embodies everything you could want in a companion—a professional cuddler and enthusiastic kisser, he’s happiest when following his foster mom around or lounging with his furry siblings. Potty trained and walks nicely on a leash, his sweet and easygoing nature is hard to resist. Although he is low-shedding, which is a plus, regular grooming is necessary to keep his coat looking its best. After arriving matted, he received a much-needed shave, but don’t worry—his beautiful coat will grow back, making him even more adorable. If you want a tiny friend ready to shower you with love and curl up beside you, Casper might just be the one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
