Meet Casper! Casper is a loving 1-year-old Terrier/Shepherd mix weighing approximately 46 pounds who is searching for a forever home of his own. He was surrendered to Rockwall Adoption Center after his previous family became overwhelmed with too many animals, and now he's ready for a fresh start with a family that can give him the time, love, and stability he deserves. Casper may be a little different from other dogs you meet because he is deaf, but he has not let that slow him down one bit. He's a smart, adaptable boy who is learning to navigate the world beautifully and continues to thrive every day. According to his foster family, Casper does wonderfully with cats, dogs, and children of all ages. He walks great on a leash, is crate trained, and does well free roaming when his people are home. He's an affectionate, happy dog who would love a family willing to continue helping him grow and succeed through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Casper is currently living in a foster home, so an approved online adoption application is required prior to scheduling a meet and greet. His adoption fee is $125. Casper is neutered, microchipped, current on his core yearly boosters, and heartworm negative. Apply to adopt Casper here: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/.
