Casper Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Minneapolis, MN

Meet Casper, a delightful 1-year 7-month-old Lab/Pit mix with a short, multi-colored coat weighing a cuddly 57 lbs. He's the epitome of sweetness, adoring everyone he meets and cherishing playtime just as much as relaxation.

This charming pup is fully house-trained, with no history of accidents. While he hasn't been crated, he seems adaptable and could likely adjust to it. Casper is exceptionally playful; he's still learning that not all pups want to play 24/7 and will need monitored/structured time with other dogs. For this reason he likely would be best as an only dog or in a home with a dog that is tolerant and family is willing to monitor playtime.

When it comes to humans, Casper is a love bug. He adores older kids, but due to his exuberance, smaller ones might get bowled over by his affection. He's shown curiosity towards cats with proper introductions, having even shown interest in rats through their cage.

Health-wise, he's in perfect condition, and his love for toys—especially puzzles and Kongs—reflects his food-motivated nature. Casper's energy level ranges from medium to high, necessitating good walks or engaging puzzle toys to keep his mind stimulated.

Not overly vocal, Casper might bark occasionally in the yard when prompted by other dogs, but he's generally quiet and adaptable to shared walls in apartments or townhomes. While he hasn't tried to escape, a regular fence would be sufficient, although a backyard for exercise would be perfect for Casper!

This ham of a pup is a gem waiting to find his forever home—soft, sweet, and eager to bring endless love to whoever welcomes him.
