Hi, I'm
Cashew (20260630-01)
Hound (Unknown Type)
My story
Cashew has already lived more than most dogs twice his age. Found on the side of the road and barely clinging to life, this resilient little guy was rescued by a kind stranger and quickly placed into foster care. With some medical attention and a whole lot of love, he bounced back - and he hasn't slowed down since. At just over a year old, Cashew is every bit the curious, energetic puppy you'd expect. He is endlessly on the move - chasing a ball, entertaining himself with a toy, or just exploring whatever catches his attention next, but then will settle down on something soft and chilli inside. His foster describes him as smart and food-motivated, which makes him surprisingly easy to work with. He is crate trained and fully house trained, knows how to sit/stay/down and he takes treats calmly right alongside other dogs. Cashew does best in a home with a fenced yard where he can burn off steam, though an equally active owner willing to commit to multiple daily walks could make it work. He gets along well with dogs of all shapes and sizes - What Cashew needs most is a patient family who will channel that brilliant, busy mind - whether through training, fetch, or just an adventure-filled life together. He has come so far from that roadside and has so much more ahead of him. Could that next chapter start with you?
