East neighborhood friend of the week: Casper

East neighborhood friend of the week: Casper

Friend of the Week is a regular feature to introduce furry friends in the community who need loving and caring homes.  Please help these deserving animals find their forever guardians or consider adopting an animal yourself.  NFW East: Available for Adoption

The NFW Challenge 2012:   234 / 350 Adoptions

Casper’s story is amazing.  It all started when someone saw him get hit by a car.  But, instead of getting the treatment he needed, Casper was sent to the pound.  Fortunately, Casper was rescued and received the veterinary care he needed to repair his front and back legs.  Talk about a survivor.  Casper is still very much alive, and he has been fighting to find his forever guardian.  Could that person be you?!?

If you adopt Casper, he will certainly not be a ghost in your life.  He would like nothing more than to find a family of his own who will play with him, snuggle with him, and give him all the love he has always deserved.  Casper is incredibly friendly, and comes with the added bonus of being housetrained.  Casper will pay back all your compassion with more love than you could possibly imagine.

To adopt Casper today, contact For the Dogs in Beachwood at forthedogs_kate@yahoo.com or visit http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/forthedogs.html.
