I knew I wanted to adopt a larger dog too.
I was searching for awhile visiting Humane Societies and rescues.
I found the description of Cassie and went to see her right before the adoptions were ending for the day!
Cassie came home two weeks after Zorro. She had been in about six different places including a Humane Society before coming to her "furever home" with us. Zorro couldn't meet Cassie right away, since he was still sick, I had to keep him away from her.
It was finally time to introduce them when he was feeling better! I was nervous that this combination of big dog and little dog wouldn't work out!
Cassie was a wild puppy! The first thing she did was see herself in the fireplace and bark thinking there was another dog looking back at her! When Zorro saw her he let out a mighty roar! Just like a lion!
He then ran under the bed and kept popping out at her growling! When Zorro "talks" he says "nort , nort , nort" making little snorting noises. Cassie has a little girl puppy voice.
Zorro told Cassie the first day that he was in charge of this place! I found out the growling was Zorro's way of playing, he does this all the time now and tugs on her ears. Their favorite toy to share is a tug string of three pumpkins. Cassie gave Zorro a ride across the room when he was on top of the pumpkins one day!
Everyone is always surprised when they see the two of them together that they are best buddies with their difference in size.
