Cassie

Meet Cassie: A Little Shy, A Lot of Love, and One Very Good Lap Dog! Cassie is a sweet Shih Tzu mix who believes that the best place to be is right where the people are... preferably on their laps. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but don't let that fool you! Give her a little time, take a gentle approach, and let her come to you, and she'll warm up before you know it. Once she's comfortable, Cassie transforms into a full-fledged lap dog who is more than happy to soak up all the affection you're willing to give. Cassie did well on her behavior assessments and generally showed herself to be a friendly, pleasant little companion. She would benefit from continued socialization and opportunities to build confidence with new people, but she has all the makings of a wonderful companion for someone willing to give her a little patience at the start. She's also shown herself to be tolerant of other dogs, so she may be able to share her home with a canine companion. You'll notice Cassie is looking a little less fluffy than your typical Shih Tzu these days. She needed a medically necessary shave, so she's currently sporting a much shorter haircut and might be feeling a little chilly while she waits for her coat to grow back. Don't worry, though! Her glamorous fluff is only temporarily out of commission, and she'll be back to her beautiful, fluffy self before long. If you're looking for a gentle little companion who just needs a moment to get comfortable before showing you her affectionate side, Cassie might be your girl. She's ready to trade her temporary haircut for a permanent place in someone's heart! If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.
