Story
Age: Almost 1 yearBreed: Black Lab/mixGood with dogs? Yes!Good with cats? Yes!Good with kids? Needs a calm, patient environmentCasey is a sweet, playful, and affectionate young dog who’s ready to find her forever home. After spending several weeks in a loving foster home, she’s learned to trust her humans and has shown incredible progress in overcoming her need to have someone always around. However, she will need a patient, understanding family who can help her continue building confidence in new situations.Her foster has provided us some very helpful information to help to know her personality, behavior quirks, etc. to aid in her transition to her furrr-ever home. You can read about that here!Personality:Casey is a very sweet dog. When she first arrived in her foster home, she would hide in one room, but now she’s much more comfortable. Still, Casey may get anxious in new places or situations. She thrives with reassurance from her human and is quick to calm down with hugs or a chew toy.

She’s curious and playful with cats, and although she gets excited and playful around them, she’s never rough. She’s had no issues coexisting with other pets, as long as they respect her space.Kids:Casey is a little nervous around younger kids, especially loud ones. She had some initial fear of her foster’s 3-year-old granddaughter, but once reassured, she was calm and careful. Casey did bark at the child when she yelled, but it was more out of concern than aggression. A home with older, calmer children would be ideal for Casey.Behaviors:When faced with overwhelming situations or unfamiliar surroundings, she may hide or become nervous, so she’ll need a patient family who will help her navigate new experiences and provide reassurance. If she’s feeling scared or unsure,
