Cashew

Description

This adorable 3-year-old Frenchie is a sweet little “Loaf” who is coming more and more out of his shell every day. He’s mostly a laid-back guy who is perfectly happy lounging around, but every once in a while, the Frenchie zoomies kick in and his playful side comes out! He may not be much of a lap dog, but he absolutely loves being close to his people. He’ll happily lie beside you for hours—usually belly-up, soaking in all the belly rubs he can get. He loves sleeping in bed with his humans, adores Himalayan cheese bones, loves his own cozy bed, and is comfortable in his crate. He has also been a very good boy in the house and hasn’t been destructive. He loves people, is wonderful on a leash, and rides great in the car. He has shown no real reaction to other dogs and is curious about cats. He may follow them around if given the opportunity, and he definitely considers cat food—and even the litter box—fair game, so those will need to be kept out of reach! Potty training is still a work in progress. We’ve learned that this shy guy needs a little privacy to do his business outside. He prefers to be outside for about 10–15 minutes without anyone watching him. Apparently, some things are private!  With patience and consistency, he should continue to improve. He does have a sensitive side. Raised voices frighten him, and he’ll retreat to his crate when he thinks he’s done something wrong. He is also absolutely convinced that vacuums and carpet cleaners are the enemy and must be defeated! Because of how strongly he reacts when startled or frightened, we suspect he may not have always been treated kindly in his past. More than anything, this little guy wants to feel safe, please his people, and be loved. He is funny, gentle, affectionate in his own way, and truly an amazing little dog. He deserves a family who will give him patience, security, plenty of belly rubs, and the chance to discover just how wonderful it is to be loved like crazy. Adoption is $400 which includes his neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.
