Hello! My name is Casey, my foster mom says I should have been a Walter or Frank but I know my name and love it! So foster mom says this is like writing a Match.com profile and I need to tell you all about myself as I need the perfect match.

So here is the deal, all I want to be is the center of your attention. Sometimes my neck gets tired from looking up at you all the time! All I want to do is to please you and do whatever you want. I live with two boy pups right now and they are chill and relaxed dogs and they don't want my foster mom's attention-so we are cool. I am not sure if I'd like to live with a pup that makes me compete for your attention or a high strung pup. I would love to be your only pup but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. When I meet other dogs out at the park or on walks, I usually ignore them, I am more interested in their human.

I think I would be fine with a cat but I have never lived with one. I mean, I see squirrels in the backyard and I just watch them and don't chase them.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE toys! I mean, I love them so much I get a bit possessive so my foster mom has commands for me to drop the toy and then makes me sit so she can throw it again for me. I just get into another world when I am playing and she snaps me back into being the obedient dog, I know how to be. For this reason, I wouldn't want a child under 12 in my home as they may grab the toy and not know it was mine. Also, don't feel like you have to play fetch with me, I can throw my own toys and play by myself.

So my ideal, date/day with you would be a long walk and then some playtime in the house or in the backyard. I would love to sit on your lap ALL day and not move. Your lap is the ONLY place I want to be. If I am not allowed up, I will sit and stare at you and do a little dance with my front paws until you let me up. Again, just so you know, I want to own your lap and be the only pup there so my foster mom has strict rules about lap time. I have to be invited up and I only get limited time on her lap.

I am cool when she is patting the other pups. When she is giving the other pups attention, I wedge myself between her and the pup so she HAS to pet me. She then ignores me on purpose so my behavior isn't rewarded but I know that's what she is doing! So I just take my paw and pull her hand off the other pup and draw to me. Ha! Try to ignore me! I also do this when she is patting me and she stops, I just take my paw and pull her hand back. I mean, come on, I am the cutest pup in the world, how could you NOT pat me?

So I weigh almost 18 pounds, my foster mom adds lots of veggies to my food and gives me long walks so I will be in shape for my forever home! She says I need to lose a pound or two, or three…

Oh and just cuz I’m a chunky monkey, don’t think I am treat driven. I would take your praise over a cookie any day! In three weeks I have learned 15 commands and want to learn more. I am the perfect companion for long walks as I do not pull and I am a perfect gentleman.

I am working hard on my house breaking, it's just hard when it’s raining, I mean, really, would you go out and do your business in the rain? It messes up my fur!

I’m up to date an all shots, and neutered (sniff, sniff).

I am 6 years old and sometimes my foster mom says I am a “grump old man” other times, she can't believe I won't stop playing with the toys!

I look forward to meeting you, perhaps we can have a play date!
