Cashew

My story

  DESCRIPTION: Cashew found himself in a tough situation and was placed with a rescue in the south. He landed in a loving foster family where he settled in nicely with his foster mom. From time to time, her grandchildren would visit and Cashew was delighted by their presence. Although Cashew was doing well with his foster family, when a family emergency arose, he needed to find an alternative placement. Foster families are incredible, but they are not always as easy to find as we would hope. Without another foster available, once again Cashew found himself in a tough situation. Knowing that this guy needed another option, the rescue reached out to MAGSR to transfer Cashew into our care. We welcomed Cashew to the MAGSR family and did not look back.  Cashew is a big, intelligent guy. Very typical of the breed, he prefers slow introductions and clear expectations. He is most successful with a calm, confident, and experienced handler that will set him up for success. Initially more comfortable with women than men, Cashew is working with our volunteers to develop confidence and boundaries. Training will go a long way with this guy. Not only will training help Cashew develop the skills he needs to become a good canine citizen, but it will also help him build a strong, healthy, and lasting relationship with his forever family. As is true of all GSDs, Cashew is looking for a forever family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership. Allowing him time to decompress and adjust in his new home will help Cashew meet with success. Having lived in an incredible foster home, Cashew understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained. He has also developed a solid understanding of pack expectations and has done well with other dogs in the home. With some alpha tendencies, Cashew may be most successful with less dominant dogs. A big fan of daily activities both inside and outside of the household, Cashew has shown that he prefers to be close to his people. Ensuring that Cashew bonds in a healthy manner will be an important first step in his forever family. With time, patience, and training, Cashew will be an amazing companion.  Cashew is looking for a special family that will cherish him throughout his golden years. If this handsome guy sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today! April 14, 2025, 7:33 pm
