About Casper

Meet Casper! This little survivor is a 4-year-old black-and-tan Dachshund mix with a heart full of love, eager for his happily ever after. Casper's journey hasn't been easy; he was rescued from a cruelty case in Maryland and fought through serious health issues, including pneumonia. Now, he's ready to embrace a brighter future. Despite his past, Casper is incredibly affectionate and enjoys cuddling. Every day, he's discovering the joys of being a cherished pet, learning how to navigate his world. Recently, he accomplished climbing onto the couch and going up stairs, which has boosted his confidence. Due to his experiences, Casper is a little nervous around men but feels safer with women. He needs a patient and gentle home where he can grow at his own pace. It's important for his new family to assist him with house-training since he's still working on that. Moreover, Casper requires another dog in the home; a canine friend will help him adjust and feel secure. Casper gets along with other dogs, but he would prefer a home without children or cats. The perfect adopter will have the understanding to support this sweet soul and will be rewarded with the love of a dog who knows what it means to feel safe now.
