My name is Cashew (Cash/Cashy)!

🐾🐾 Meet Cashew (aka "Cash" or "Cashy")! 🐾🐾

Cashew is a gentle, sweet, and loving Labrador mix weighing around 40–45 lbs—and he’s as soft on the inside as he is on the outside. He was born safely into rescue after his mom was found wandering the streets, and he’s one of twelve lucky pups who got a second chance at a happy life.

Cash is a total velcro dog. He loves being close to his people and will happily follow you from room to room, always ready to snuggle up for some quality cuddle time. He’s also a smart boy! Cash has had professional training and already knows sit, shake, down, and place. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and does well on leash—he might start off with a little enthusiasm, but quickly settles into a relaxed, easygoing walk.

He’s a social sweetheart who truly enjoys the company of other animals. Cash is thriving in his foster home alongside four doggie siblings and does great with cats too. He loves to play chase (both giving and receiving!) and never misses a chance to show off his zoomies when the mood strikes.

Because Cash missed some early socialization, he can be a bit cautious with new sights, sounds, and strangers. Sudden noises or unfamiliar environments may make him pause—but with patience, reassurance, and love, he continues to grow braver every day. His foster family has seen this journey before with his brother, who started out shy and blossomed into a confident, happy dog. Cash is well on his way and will thrive in a calm, understanding home that celebrates small wins and builds his confidence at his pace.

If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal, and intelligent companion who will stick by your side, Cashew might be your perfect match. With a little patience and a lot of love, he’s ready to become an amazing lifelong best friend. 🐾💙AARF Houston transports to approved adopters outside of Texas.
