Casper is a 3-year-old terrier mix who was on the verge of being euthanized when he was rescued from a local animal control facility. He is very loving and very kind. He loves to take quiet walks or curl up on the couch near people. If you introduce them slowly, they may get along well with other dogs. Casper has tested positive for heartworm and needs a quiet, calm space while undergoing heartworm treatment. To meet Casper, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.
