About Cashew

Meet Cashew! This charming 10-month-old female mix has a delightful blend of energy and curiosity. Initially thought to be a Great Pyrenees and Labrador mix, she might actually be a Border Collie and Labrador mix, considering her petite size and playful demeanor. Cashew is still learning to trust new people, so patience is key. While she's picked up commands like sit and kennel, she isn’t fully housetrained yet. Her adopters will need to help her adjust to a routine in a loving home. She previously shared her space with another dog and got along wonderfully, so having a canine companion could help ease her transition into her new environment. Cashew is ready for her next adventure, having started on core vaccinations. If you think you can offer her the patience and love she needs, come meet Cashew at the shelter!
