Many of our dog tlc volunteers take our shelter dogs off-site for safe, supervised adventures. Volunteer rockstar Maggie recently took bonded pups Casper & Iggy to a full fenced sniffspot for an afternoon of FUN! Both dogs had such a wonderful time. They ran, played, explored and on the way back to the shelter, stopped for a pup cup! AWESOME!! A doggone great time was had by all!

Casper and Iggy are the sweetest pair of senior (but totally young-at-heart!) brother/sister siblings who are looking for a forever family to call their own. You really can't find a better pair of pups than these two - they are simply wonderful!

These 8 year old siblings were brought to the shelter after their owner moved away, leaving them with a family member who could not care for them. We don't know a whole lot about their history other than the fact they have lived their whole lives together and are very bonded.

Casper is the carefree, easygoing sibling; easily befriended by anyone and has a tail that never stops wagging. Iggy is more of the "protective older brother" type; a bit more cautious of his surroundings and always keeping a watchful eye on his family. He's quite the snuggle bug and will full-body lean into your legs for optimum butt scritches. Casper and Iggy have polite manners; both know 'sit', 'down', and 'drop it', and take treats very gently! Neither dog will ever turn down a good game of fetch.

If you are interested in opening your heart and home to this pair of sweet, special pups, please fill out an application on our website, www.whatcomhumane.org or in person Tue-Sun 11-6 at the Whatcom Humane Society.
