Casper is Our Pet of the Week on Wet Nose Wednesday
Brianna from the Humane Society of West Michigan wasn t able to come into the studio yesterday morning due to COVID-19, but we talked on the phone about Casper!
Much like the friendly ghost, this six-year-old boy can be a bit timid at first, but will warm up with a slow intro and gentle approach. Casper is a gentle soul who appreciates a calm, quiet setting.

Casper loves the occasional ear and chin scratch, and once you earn his trust, he will begin to melt right into your hand for more!
