Casper

Casper has spent a long time in care waiting for his forever home.

He has waited longer than any other dog and it is a mystery to us that he has had zero interest.

Some dogs we understand struggle for various reasons but not Casper – this boy iss an absolute delight.

His extended time in care has not been time wasted – every day he has learned something new and is now truly his best self.

Casper is about 2 years old and is believed to be a wolfhound/mastiff mix.

Not as big as his breed mix might suggest he is however is a chunky little monkey but goodness he is a whole hunk of love and devotion.

Caspers previous life was as a “Street” dog in a remote community in NSW.

Before coming into rescue he had never experienced a home or a family of his own, and whilst he had lots to learn about life in the suburbs, he could teach anyone lots about friendliness, loyalty, and appreciation.

He really is such a happy boy, Casper always has a smile on his face.

He is friendly and sociable, and very much enjoys meeting new people and other dogs.

Coming from a previous life as a community dog, Casper is now loving and thriving in a family environment.

There is nothing Casper adores more than being with his people.

He still has a puppy playfulness about him, and loves children (although he may not suit a household with very small children as he may inadvertently knock them over while playing).

Casper wants to be involved in whatever is happening, but he settles quickly and is happy to lie quietly next to his people through the day.

Household life is still new to Casper, but he’s a smart boy, is eager to please, and takes direction very well.

He is now toilet trained, happily sleeps in a crate at night, and knows basic commands.

With help from his new halti, Casper now walks well on a lead, and is learning that we don’t have to stop and greet every single person or dog we pass along the way.

He is a bit of lazy bones overall so isn’t going to put you under pressure to go hiking or on long rambles.

Because of his high sociability, Casper may try to follow his people when they leave the house, so good 6ft fences are needed and/or an outdoor enclosure for these times.

His current carer has bought a basic boundary collar and it has worked instantly – he decided it was all too much bother going anywhere and decided to take a snooze instead.

He really would love a household that has someone home a lot of the time or has another dog for companionship (not cats or pocket pets).

If you are looking for a happy, loving, devoted member of the family, Casper is the dog for you.

Casper is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and up to date with his flea and worm treatments.

He is in foster care at The Gap ( North Brisbane) and his adoption fee is $595.
