About Cash

Cash is a gentle, fluffy puppy whose first instinct with new people is caution—he’ll likely scoot away and watch from afar, sizing things up before letting his guard down. Once he figures out you want nothing but to give him love, you’ll see his mellow, easygoing side emerge. He melts for belly rubs and leans into attention, his whole demeanor lighting up as he grows more comfortable. Dogs are Cash’s biggest confidence boost. Whether it’s a tiny lap dog or a giant companion, he’s at his happiest in the company of other pups. He mixes energy with a surprising level of respect and quiet play for such a young dog, and his gentle playstyle wins over peers of all sizes. Cash loves basking in a patch of sun or curling up with a stuffed toy after a good play session. He needs a calm home where change happens at a gentle pace, ideally with at least one other playful dog to help him blossom. Not a city dog—he’ll need someone patient and active who enjoys hikes and time outdoors and will introduce him to the world without overwhelming him. Cash won’t be the dog bounding up to every visitor, but give him time, and his sweetness wins out. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
