Hi there! My name is Cash! I'm a fun and playful, 6-month-old, neutered male puppy. I am a loving little boy. I get along well with other dogs and just want to play with them. I could use some basic obedience training. I don't know much yet. I have developed this bad habit of guarding my food. Luckily, there's an easy solution for that. It's called free feeding in which dog food is always available to me. Dogs tend to get food possessive when they think it might be a rare commodity. By making food available all the time, the value of it diminishes and the dog learns there's no need to guard it, it's always there. Once the dog learns that and the behavior changes, you can start feeding on a normal twice a day schedule. Cash's previous owner shared that he is playful, well behaved, loving, independent and is very good with children. He is affectionate, caring and likes to play with toys, likes to be in your lap and does well with baths and car rides. Give Cash a chance to be your new buddy! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.
I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. You can visit me there any time the shelter is open. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue.

Adoption and Foster Care Application
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
