About Casey - 1 Year Old Kelpie X
🐕 Help Us Find Casey His Furever Home 🐕
Casey is proof that resilience and personality can go hand in hand. When he first came into rescue, life had clearly dealt him a tough hand — but what shines through now is his strength, his progress, and his wonderfully fun spirit.
These days, Casey is a happy, affectionate boy with a goofy side that has made him a firm favourite at the shelter. He is always up for pats, absolutely loves playing with the hose, and will happily burst into games of fetch (and the occasional comedic zoomie).
Casey’s responds well to positive energy and calm guidance and takes pride in his good manners — patiently sitting for meals, walking nicely on leash, and showing off his excellent toilet training.
Casey is now ready for his next chapter - could you be the one to give him a second chance and the life he deserves?
While Casey can take a little time to feel comfortable in new situations, his progress so far is a true testament to his resilience. With consistency and encouragement, he continues to show just how capable and adaptable he is.
Casey is dog friendly; however, he would be best suited as the only dog initially while he settles into his new environment. He has not been tested with cats or pocket pets and is best suited to a home with children aged 12+.
Casey’s favourite things 💙
💦 Water play — sprinklers, hoses, beaches (water = pure joy)

🐕 Walks and outdoor time
🛋️ Snuggles and epic lounge snoozes

What Casey will need going forward 🌟
