My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

At 9 years old and 65 pounds, Cash looks like a giant Chihuahua sent here from another galaxy to study Earth dogs. His official record claims he arrived from Dallas, Texas in 2021. We think that’s a cover story. Our theory: he stepped off a UFO and walked straight into the shelter. If NASA spotted him near Area 51, no one would question it.

Since landing, Cash has been quietly observing human behavior, collecting data, and waiting for the perfect moment to make contact with his forever family. That moment is now.

Evidence Cash is from another planet:
👽 Eyes that track you like friendly moons in orbit.
👽 Loves toys the way astronauts love freeze-dried ice cream.
👽 Communicates in pure joy and occasional squeaks.
👽 Solar powered, often sunbathing in chairs to recharge.
👽 Prefers ladies but will consider a respectful male astronaut if chemistry is right.
👽 Does not trust vacuums and sees them as hostile Earth technology.
👽 His DNA test came back 8% unresolved, assuming that means classified information.

Mission requirements:
🛸 Cozy spot by the window for planetary observation.
🛸 Basket of toys to collect, study, and protect.
🛸 Human(s) to supply cuddles, snacks, and head scritches.
🛸 Low-traffic home where his personal space bubble stays intact on walks.
🛸 Patience for one quirky, lovable alien who’s allergic to Earth (daily fish oil keeps the space suit shiny) and sometimes spirals into a minor black hole of loneliness when his favorite human leaves the mothership.

Cash is ready to beam directly into your life. He’ll join you on walks, supervise Netflix marathons, and nap peacefully while you work from home. In return, you’ll get unconditional love from a dog so unique he might need his own species classification.
