Cassie is simply the sweetest and smartest dog we have fostered.  We are enjoying our time with her, because we doubt she will take long to find a forever home. Cassie was rescued from a shelter in Arkansas.  She is EXTREMELY affectionate and easy-going.  She doesn't wag her tail, she wags her whole body.  She loves everybody and won't hesitate to roll over for a belly rub, or ask to be carried around on her back like a baby. The look on her face when you pet her is total and complete adoration.  Cassie is so grateful for being rescued and will absolutely steal the hearts of everyone in the family.  She craves attention and she will follow you around everywhere.  She's also a face-licker, if you give her a chance. Bottom line, she is just a big, cuddly bundle of happy dog.

 

She seems to have been owned by a household before, because she knows some basic "sit" and "stay" commands and will jump in the car to go for a ride if you open the door.  She is fine with a dog bed, but loves getting in the big bed, too.  She'll lay across your feet, but loves to sit with you on the couch. She is very trainable and well-behaved.

 

At first Cassie would come to us to let us know when she wanted to go out, but is currently in a home with a dog door to get to the fenced back yard, which she uses.  She takes to things quite well-she didn't know how to use the doggy stairs to get on the couch, but after being shown once, she got the idea.

 

Cassie barks when someone comes to the door but stops when told.  She has an intimidating bark for a dog her size, and has scared a couple of deliverymen who were expecting to see a fierce doberman! Her coat is very shiny, she hears and sees great and does not have any health problems that we are aware of.

 

Cassie has a medium amount of energy - she likes to go for walks, but is also OK just hanging around the house. She does like to play.  She is a big standard, so you can wrestle around with her a little more than usual. She would prefer to be with her humans, and will whine when left home alone, but has not chewed or damaged anything.  She likes to carry a toy around in her mouth, which is very cute.

 

She would be an ideal dog for any situation: kids, other pets, an older person, or a first-time owner.  She doesn't have any special needs and adapts quickly. She would be happiest in a home where she has lots of love and petting, and can spend lots of time with her new humans.
