Cassi

Meet Cassi, a gentle and loving four-year-old Siberian Husky mix from Needham, MA, who’s looking for her next caring family to call her own. With her stunning white-and-gray coat and warm, soulful eyes, Cassi is a perfect blend of playfulness and calm, always ready for a belly rub or a game of tug-of-war.

Unlike the typical talkative Husky, Cassi is a quiet and content girl—except when it comes to mail delivery! She takes her role as a household guardian seriously, giving a few warning barks when strangers approach, but once she’s been introduced, she’s all about the love. She enjoys the company of people and thrives in a lively home where there’s a steady flow of familiar faces.

Cassi is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows several commands, including come, sit, down, and drop it. She’s flexible with her routine and does well when left alone, never getting into mischief or making a mess. She enjoys daily walks and games of fetch, but she’s also perfectly happy lounging around, soaking up attention from her favorite humans. Belly rubs? Absolutely her favorite thing in the world!

One of Cassi’s most charming traits is her love for cats—she gets along wonderfully with feline friends and enjoys their company! When it comes to other dogs, she hasn’t had much experience, and on walks, she can be a bit wary of larger ones. With patience and positive introductions, she may build confidence over time.

Spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations, Cassi is in perfect health and ready to find her next loving home! She’d do best with a family who appreciates her mix of playfulness and relaxation and can offer her a warm and welcoming environment.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and affectionate companion who will greet you with wagging tail and happy cuddles, Cassi might be the perfect match for you! Reach out to learn more about bringing this wonderful girl into your life!
