Cassy's story

　　Cassy is a loving 4 year old black German shepherd mix. She is a beautiful girl with a soft, long jet black coat. She has the signature Shepherd tall ears, and personality. She loves to rub all over you like a cat, and she LOVES butt scratches. She is a very loving, and snugly girl. She gets along great with other dogs, and is also okay with cats (she does like to chase them.) She would be the perfect companion to tag along on adventures, she loves the great outdoors. She is a very photogenic girl and would love to brighten up your social media! She is house and crate trained.

　　From the foster: Cassy is such a sweet girl. Gets along well with kids and other dogs. She likes to chase our cat, but has never harmed him so can't say for sure about that. She will stay in a crate, but we keep it next to our bed because she will bark and whine if alone in there at first. I work from home so most of the day she roams around and doesn't get into anything. She has had a few accidents inside, and we are working on going potty only outside. Although she is a bigger dog, she does not pull very hard when walking on a leash. She wants all the love she can get! She is a German shepherd mix so shedding is just something they do, but I brushed her a lot so it's not as bad now. Plus Texas is more humid then Colorado so I am sure this has a lot to do with it.

　　Cassy is alert, full of life, and playful! A beautiful dog with soft silky fur.

　　This sweet girl will be available at our adoption event this coming Saturday at the Fort Collins Petco 2211 S. College Ave from 10am-1pm. If you are interested in this friendly girl, please submit an application through our website aaanimalrescue.org. Please feel free to email with any questions [email protected].

　　Breed and size disclosure: As a rescue all of our dogs come to us from high-kill shelters or other rescues, so we do not get a lot of background or information on these dogs. We occasionally receive the mother with the puppies, but in most cases both parents are unknown. Because of this we do not know the full breeding of the dogs. We are required to list the dogs based on the breeds provided to us on their records, but they are all mixed breeds as far as we know, and we cannot guarantee the actual breeds of any of these dogs. Since the full breeding of the dogs is unknown we can also only give you an educated guess on the full-grown size of the dogs. All of the current information we have on the dogs is listed in their bio above. More information may be available at our adoption event, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care when they drop them off.

　　Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting from us, the first step of our adoption process is to fill out an application online at http://aaanimalrescue.org/adoption_app.html. It takes us 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you, via email. Applications turned in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning will not be processed since we are preparing for or at our adoption event. We do have applications on site at our events, but are not always able to approve them at that time and many of the dogs will already have holds on them, so we suggest you fill out an application prior to attending an adoption event. We can place a hold on one dog per approved applicant after a deposit fee has been received, please do not ask to hold a dog if you have not turned in an application and been approved, for the first hour of our adoption event, so that they can get the first chance to meet and hopefully adopt that dog. After the first hour of the event all dogs are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the event, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day. Since we are foster based and do not have a location, our dogs are only available to meet at our events, unless otherwise noted.
