Casey Square

I am just a year old and like most youngsters of my age, I have a lot of energy.  I love to play friendly rounds of chase with other dogs.  I will also run after a ball during games of fetch and return it to your feet for as long as you are willing to throw it for me.  I am very curious and inquisitive so it’s important to keep forbidden things out of my reach.  When I am trying to get your attention, I will occasionally pick up items I find on the floor or at my level and carry them around, but will politely drop them when asked.

Recently, foster mom started using a clicker to teach me obedience commands.  She tells me that I am very smart because I master my lessons so quickly.   I love the sound of the click because that means I have done what she wants and I will get a yummy treat!  There is so much for a young girl like me to learn, but I have made a lot of progress so far.  After a busy day of play and training I am ready to settle down in my crate and am quiet for the night.

Everyone who meets me comments about how sweet I am and what a wonderful companion I will be for a lucky active family.  I will need to join you on daily walks, get plenty of exercise and continue my obedience training so I will learn to control my puppy impulses and build a positive relationship with you.

To adopt me, I would like a fenced in yard and no young children.  I can be mouthy at times and like to pick up toys.  And, even though I get along with other dogs, I get very playful and don’t know when to stop.  I would do best as an only dog so I get all of your focus with my continued training.

Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
