About Johnny Cash

Meet Johnny Cash! This spirited three-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/Husky mix is currently located in Los Angeles, CA. With a striking brindle coat complemented by charming white accents, Cash embodies a thrilling mix of wild adventure and devoted affection. Johnny is bursting with energy, making him the perfect companion for anyone who loves outdoor activities. His athletic build and endless stamina were evident when he tackled a remarkable 712-mile hike, proving to be an incredible adventurer and friendly companion. At home, he transforms into a big-hearted cuddlebug, embracing cozy moments with his family. He is especially gentle with kids, sharing affectionate interactions with his guardian's nephews, ages 10 and 13. Cash’s play style adapts seamlessly; he enjoys a playful tussle with a young Ridgeback but can also match the gentle nature of a senior Staffordshire Terrier. This canine companion is house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and knows various obedience commands, demonstrating his ability to thrive on structure and routine. Though he is content being home alone for up to six hours, he has a strong prey drive. Because of a previous incident, he cannot be trusted near cats or small animals and should always be leashed outdoors. Despite these challenges, Cash's loving heart and joyful spirit shine through. Are you the experienced, active pet parent he needs? This caring dog is looking for his forever home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
