Cashew found himself at an SPCA in Virginia after being hit by a car. He was adopted and moved to Texas where he lived with his owner, her three roommates, and his best friend who was a 25lb dog. Then six months later, he was surrendered to AAC when his owner was no longer able to keep him.He was pretty fearful when he landed back in the shelter; the loud noises were overwhelming and he was scared of things going over his head. A few volunteers started spending time with him every day, going at his own pace and letting him warm up to them. He showed us that he is a lover very quickly and has continued to open up and feel more confident.Cashew is one of the smartest dogs we've ever known. He is a great problem solver, has shown to be resilient and trainable, he knows when to party and when to chill, and he loves making friends especially when there is cheese involved. As for basics, Cashew is already house trained and crate trained. He's a solid medium-to-laidback energy level boy and would love to live with another dog (or by himself, that's okay too!). With dogs, he has a soft playstyle and stays away from conflict. Cashew is just such a gentle, affectionate boy with the biggest heart who wants someone to help him feel loved.
