My Story

Casanova is a charming fluffy guy with a friendly, outgoing, and confident personality. He loves being around his people and will happily follow family members around the house to stay involved in whatever is happening. He’s an active little guy who enjoys daily walks to the park, meeting new people and dogs, and playing with toys—especially squeaky ones. Casanova is also a pro at fetch and enjoys car rides where he can watch the world go by. At home, he likes to keep an eye on the neighborhood from the front windows. When the day winds down, he loves cuddle time in the evenings and sleeping in in the mornings. Casanova is potty trained and generally very quiet, only barking if separated from his people or when he sees a cat. He may whine or bark briefly when left alone but usually settles after a few minutes. He sleeps gated in the bedroom at night and will choose between the bed, the floor, or his own bed. He has shown some reactivity toward cats and may try to chase them, though he seems more interested in playing than harming them. Training with “leave it” has helped, but continued work will be important. Casanova loves treats and will sit politely to receive one. He’s a sweet, playful companion who thrives on attention and being part of the family. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
