The Latest Post from Our Blog

Casper is currently being treated for ringworm. It’s a contagious fungal infection that isn’t too difficult to treat but can be difficult to contain. He’s had a few baths with special shampoo and has a cream applied to the area everyday. This hasn’t affected his personality, but does make it hard to hug the little guy as no one wants ringworm on their hands or face.

However, Casper, as his foster mom has told us, is a great dog. He’s very easy going and likes people a lot. He loves attention but isn’t too needy or demanding for it. More so, he just loves the company and is extremely gentle.

The major problem has been with the cat. Casper and the cat do not get along at all. Casper should not live in a house with cats or other small animals.

He does not seem comfortable with confinement, he is very tolerant of it and will wimper a little. He never barks or scratches at the door or anything like that, but he does not like to be in a room with a closed door. We’re not entirely sure of his past experience has been with confinement, maybe it was a form of punishment or maybe he just is acting like a cat. You know, cats always want to be on the other side of the closed door… scratching and meowing to come into a room, then scratching and meowing to leave the room if the door closes.

Casper is just a very friendly dog and tolerates his medicine and baths. He’s good with children and most dogs. He met a few neighborhood children and strangers recently and was a perfect dog. Casper went over to everyone to get pets and even gave a one of the kids a kiss.

Casper also likes yogurt and would probably prefer to be an only dog so he can get all the love and affection in the house but he can and will live with another dog, but he must meet the dog first. Casper has shown some aggression to some dogs and we’re not sure what it is about the dog that he likes or doesn’t like.

His foster family sent us a few pics:
