Cash is part Chihuahua, part Chiweenie, and 100% a character. Underneath his cranky, stubborn shell is a dog who just wants to feel safe and secure—though he’ll take his time deciding if you’re worthy of his trust. Cash is estimated to be over 11 years old and came seriously overweight, with a laundry list of neglected health problems. Since being rescued, he’s shed several pounds, been neutered, and undergone much-needed dental work, and his coat is recovering. His arthritis and old injuries make stairs a challenge, but he’s gaining ground—literally—every day. His big eyes and tentative smiles say it all: he wants to engage, even if slow to let his guard down. Cash needs a very understanding adult-only home, ideally with another mellow dog for companionship and support. He's house trained, quiet, and overall prefers a calm routine—no kids or chaos. While wary of strangers, he gets along with all sorts of dogs, big or small, and it's clear canine company gives him comfort. Patience will be essential—expect Cash to seek out his crate for downtime and take baby steps on his own schedule. For a savvy owner ready to invest time and heart, Cash’s trust and affection will be a true reward. Cash is fostered in Chicago’s North Side and can be visited by appointment. Ready to fall in love?
