Unlike her namesake, our Cassiopeia would never dare to boast about her unrivaled beauty... so we will do it for her! Cassie, as we call her, has an infectious and gorgeous smile that makes all of her human friends at the shelter bend to her will. She smiles at them and does a wiggly happy dance that cannot be beat. The absolute best thing about Cassie is that she is just as wonderful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has a gentle soul and is a truly kind and dove-like creature. She came to the shelter with several brothers and sisters. All of these poor babies were terrified of this new environment so Cassie stepped up to take on the role of the brave and confident mother hen, looking after her siblings and making sure they were not scared. Cassie was terrified too but she knew she had to be a strong doggy and be there for them. Cassie has been at our Tarrytown for a little over 1 month now and she is making tremendous progress with her caregivers. She now loves to cuddle and kiss her trusted human friends. She is still fearful when meeting new people but we now know that this courageous and beautiful lady has the yearning to connect with people. We want to see her in a home that has a doggy companion for her to bond with. She is happiest when she can be around other dogs. Teenagers may be okay if they can be calm and gentle with her.
