In the shelter’s words
If you are looking for a devoted companion who will completely commit her heart to you, Cassie is ready to answer the call! At nine years young, this beautiful English Setter is a classic “Velcro dog” who loves human affection and forms an incredibly deep, loyal bond with the woman of the house. Cassie is a perfect blend of a calm house companion and a middle-aged Setter explorer outdoors. Inside the house, Cassie is all about comfort. She believes furniture privileges are a must and loves curling up on couches, chairs, or snoozing right alongside you in bed. When you go outside with her, Cassie taps into her Setter drive and she loves patrolling an interesting yard, flushing birds, and chasing squirrels. She’ll go outside on her own and do her business, but if you aren’t with her, she’s ready to come right back inside. She needs a home with a secure yard with 4 foot fences to keep her safe while she explores. She doesn’t need a large yard or hours of outside time, just enough to stretch her legs and work her Setter instincts daily. Cassie does have a strong preference for women. She attaches quickly to females and tends to ignore men in the household. She will thrive in a quiet household where the primary caregiver is a woman who loves the constant companionship of an affectionate Setter. Cassie is a confident lady who knows what she wants, and she prefers to be #1 with her Mom so she’ll do best as an only dog or a laid-back, quiet canine companion who gives her space and doesn’t question her spot as Queen Bee. Cassie lived peacefully in a temp foster home with a confident cat. We haven’t assessed her with kids so we think she would be best suited for a home with older, respectful teenagers or an adult-only home. Typical of field ES, particularly our confident girls, she can be a bit stubborn at times, though she is a quick learner who knows her name, responds beautifully to the command “Here,” and is doing well with her house-training. Cassie is a great traveler who loads easily into the car and enjoys riding along for the trip. She’s a good eater and a slow feeder works best. Cassie does experience separation anxiety when her beloved human is out of sight, which can result in barking or whining. She is starting anxiety meds to help her feel more secure and help her settle into this new life as an inside dog. The first 9 years of Cassie’s life were spent mostly in an outside kennel. Following the 3/3/3 rule in rescue, where dogs need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn their new routine and 3 months to know this is their home and safe place, Cassie is making good progress daily and we are hopeful that this gets better when she can trust that she is in a forever home. Cassie is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and tests. She does have a heart murmur that is genetic; she can be as active as she wants and she is doing well on maintenance medications. Cassie is looking for an adopter who can offer patience, consistency, and a quiet routine. If you are a woman looking for a loyal, shadow-dog companion to patrol the yard by day and snuggle on the couch by night, Cassie is ready to fill your home with love.

Our adoption fee is $300 for a dog under 1 year old, $250.00 for a dog 1 year and older. Some dogs will be available for a lower fee. Adopters must be 21 years old or older. Any pets currently in the adoptive home must be spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Heartworm preventative is now recommended by Veterinarians in almost all areas of the US, and most are recommending year-round use. If your Vet recommends heartworm testing and consistent use of heartworm preventative medication we will verify to ensure your Vet records show heartworm testing completed and preventative purchased. For dogs currently in an applicantâs home, you should have a history of providing this care for at least the past year. If there are no dogs currently in the home we will check prior vet references and verify heartworm testing and use of preventative for dogs previously in the home. The purchase of heartworm preventative requires a prescription and prior purchases, if applicable, will be verified during the vet reference portion of our application process. If the applicant's vet clinic recommends heartworm preventative but it is purchased elsewhere, we ask applicants to provide proof of the prior purchases. After we receive a completed application to adopt, we conduct a phone interview and a home visit before approving an applicant. A vet reference must be provided for all current and recent pets. Personal and vet references will be verified. If renting, please provide your landlord's contact information or a verification letter from your landlord regarding acceptance of pets.
