Notes from 3 Hearts 4 Paws Animal Rescue

June of 2026 will mark 3 years Cassio has been with us in foster care and we really can't understand why this boy hasn't been adopted. This gorgeous boy with the soulful eyes came to us as a puppy and has grown up in foster care. He's 3 1/2 years old now and currently weighs about 75lbs.

Cassio would do best as an only dog! Cassio gets along with all dogs in public and for playdates, LOVES to play with other dogs, LOVES his playdates at the beach, but seems to prefer his home and his people to himself. He can be very territorial with another dog in the home. Cassio is an energetic guy and requires a completely FENCED IN yard. Cassio can be a vocal guy and if he wants something, will let you know, therefore no shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc). He is house trained, crate trained and sleeps through the night. Cassio is extremely loving and always excited to see new people and dogs on walks. He is being fostered with numerous small dogs who he has been with since 2.5 months old and gets along with and respects all of them, but because of his guarding of his personal space and people stays in his own area of the home. Cassio seems to prefer play with smaller dogs and is sometimes cautious with dogs bigger than him. Cassio has met a cat before and was respectful towards the kitty and eventually lost interest. Although Cassio tries to remember his manners, he doesn't know his size and is too jumpy for small children.

This beautiful goofball would do best with an active person(s) as he loves walks and hikes. He's an amazingly loyal boy and will make a wonderful companion for the right person(s).
