HISTORY/BACKGROUND: Casper and his girlfriend Daisy were found at a resort in Jamaica called Couple's that was swept away. Vacationers from Cochrane, Alberta met them when the two were begging for food, since they like most dogs there are homeless and terribly hungry. The Albertan's fell in love with Casper and immediately decided they were not going to leave the two behind at an abandoned hotel. (We love these people!) With the help of Mimi (a staff at the resort) they were able to coordinate with a place called Animal House Jamaica, a rescue organization located at Ocho Rios. Casper is now vet checked and ready to travel but still in Jamaica. We are all waiting for the heat wave to pass so she can fly to Calgary to find her furever family.
TEMPERAMENT & PERSONALITY: Casper is very sweet but comes across as a bit of stand offish.he seems to be afraid every time we pour his water in his bowl in front of him. we suspect that people may have been throwing water on him to shooo him away. He has a great disposition and will turn in to a very loyal dog once his human earns his trust. Just like his girl friend Daisy he enjoys affection and belly rubs he seems to be somewhat potty trained. He used to stay in our room at nights during our time in Jamaica and would cry to go out if he needed to potty during the night. Casper s currently in Jamaica. He will be up to date with his vaccinations and will be neutered soon after arriving to Canada. He will be flying with Delta airlines. we are expecting him to arrive in approx two to three weeks.
BEST MATCH: A family with no cats as we don't know how he would behave around cats.
FAVORITE THINGS: She loves belly rubs and sleeping on the beach.
TRANSPORTING: If any Calgarians are going to Jamaica soon, or know anyone, please let us know. It is costly to fly dogs without a passenger onboard, so we always put the word out. If you could also pass the word, social media really comes through many times in unexpected ways! Daisy's rescuers are paying for her air and vetting, however, given the high cost of no passenger onboard an airline, it's sure nice to help out the people paying and cut down costs as much as possible. All a vacationer needs to do going that way is meet the rescue organization at the counter at both destinations. Everything is paid and done for the transport helper.
