I'm ready for my new family!

Cass is a sweet, playful dog who is adjusting well to life outside of a South Korean laboratory. She has a great potential to thrive in a loving home, especially with her friendly personality and willingness to interact with both people and other dogs. At 21 pounds, she seems to be a manageable size for many households. Cass enjoys playing with other dogs, making her a good companion for families who already have pets, especially if those pets are also playful. While she doesn't like having her feet touched, she isn't aggressive about it, so with some gentle desensitization, that can likely be improved.

Cass has no food aggression with people, which is fantastic, though it would be good to monitor her interactions with other dogs at mealtime until more is known. Her tolerance of kids also makes her a good fit for a family setting, though her lack of interest in strangers or being petted might suggest she’s a bit more reserved around unfamiliar people.

When it comes to her house training, Cass is still working on her potty habits. She uses a pee pad at her current foster home, but occasionally makes mistakes on furniture like the sofa or mats. Consistent bathroom breaks and reinforcing outdoor potty trips will likely help her improve, and she may outgrow this behavior as she becomes more comfortable in her new home.

Her love of nose-walking is an adorable quirk and reflects her natural curiosity. It's great to hear that she’s still in training on the leash, as leash walking can take time to perfect, especially for a dog who is still adjusting to life outside the lab. It’s also good to know that she rarely barks, which could make her a more tranquil companion for those who prefer a quieter home environment.

Cass's dislike of cold weather is something to keep in mind. She may need extra warmth, like a cozy sweater or a warm indoor space during colder months. Additionally, her tendency to make a mess with plants isn’t a huge issue, though it might be something to keep an eye on until she fully adjusts.

Cass is up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, and spayed, and is ready to fly to Seattle, where she will undoubtedly find a wonderful family to call her own. She sounds like a lovely, adaptable dog who will thrive with a little patience, training, and love. Would you like to make Cass a new family member.
