Old Casey: Adopt Me!

This week’s featured pet is Casey, a six year old cocker spaniel and poodle mix.

Meet Casey.  As far as shelter pets go, he's on the older end of the spectrum. But that’s all the reason more to give this distinguished six-year-old cocker spaniel some much needed love and attention. Casey has already been neutered and is ready to go home with his new family now. To learn more about Casey or other dogs available for adoption, visit the South Suburban Humane Society (SSHS) adoption page. PLEASE VISIT SSHS IN THE PATCH PLACES DIRECTORY

The sudden passing left her and her two sons, Andrew, 8, and Ryan, 4, with broken hearts and a big, empty space where their husband and father used to be. “After Steve died, I thought about getting a dog. A dog was never an option when Steve was here—he was horribly allergic. I looked at the listings (online) and nothing really called to me." That’s largely because all of Burke’s former pets came to her serendipitously she says, citing an experience in her youth when a stranger thrust a puppy into her hands, got into her car and sped off.
