Meet Casper – The Little Superhero with the Lightning Tail!

Male Mini Tan – 6.5kg

18 months

Hi, I’m Casper! My foster mum says I’m a bit of a superhero – I’ve got a big white patch on my chest that looks just like a hero’s emblem and a little lightning-bolt-shaped tail (kind of like Pikachu’s!). I’m small in size but big in personality – cheeky, clever, and full of heart.

I’m a people dog through and through. I read human body language really well and love being part of everything you’re doing – from morning cuddles to afternoon naps. I’m affectionate and loyal, and I bond quickly with my humans. Once you’re in my circle, you’re my person forever.

I’ve got a great brain too! I love learning, and I pick things up fast because I really want to please. I’ve already mastered walking beautifully on the lead, using a doggy door, and sleeping soundly in my own bed at night. I’m nearly fully toilet trained now and learning new tricks all the time. My foster family says I’m one of the smartest and most intuitive little dogs they’ve had.

I’m on a bit of a confidence journey. I’m currently weaning off my anxiety medicine, and I’ve made amazing progress. I’m learning that the world is safe, that people are kind, and that I can be okay on my own for short periods. I still a little bit unsure about meeting other dogs and can still get nervous at first – sometimes I bark or snap if I feel overwhelmed.   I’m ready for someone patient, calm, and kind who’ll keep helping me blossom. 

What I’m Looking For

  • A calm, loving home where I can feel safe and part of the family
  • A family who’s home most of the time – though I can be left alone for a few hours when needed
  • A patient human who’ll continue with my training, confidence building, and gentle socialisation
  • I’ve been tested with children aged 10 and older, but not with younger ones – so if there are kids in my new home, they should be calm and know how to handle a small dog respectfully
  • I don’t mind being the only dog, but I’ve also shown I can build really strong bonds with other dogs once I feel safe. I just need very slow, careful introductions at first because meeting new dogs can be a bit scary for me. With time, patience, and gentle handling, I usually warm up and form lovely, lasting friendships.

I’m desexed, vaccinated, and health checked. I’m not destructive, I’ve got loads of love to give, and my cheeky nature keeps everyone smiling. My crooked little lightning tail and superhero chest patch might be the first things you notice – but it’s my big heart that’ll win you over.

If you’re looking for a clever, affectionate, loyal little sidekick to share your life with, I might just be your match.
