Story
I am pretty sure my rescuers were HUNGRY when they named us. Cashew is my name and I am as delightful as a sweet n nutty n salty treat. My babies were named after food too! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers! When we were found, we were HUNGRY TOO! We were "living" at a gas station in the 90 to 100 degree temperatures and unbelievable flooding. 🌧 We are SURVIVORS! As mama to this crew I was so very scared for our safety but was also scared of the people helping us... fast forward to today! I love my people and my babies are growing and finding their own homes. It's my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
G has been part of our family since 7 weeks old. He is lovable yet sassy, with a personality all his own. He may resist walks at first but enjoys a 45-minute walk with encouragement. He also loves sunset petting sessions and will nudge you to scratch all his favorite spots. Recently, at 6.5 years old, G has developed behavioral challenges that appear related to separation anxiety. He has damaged doors and a window screen trying to get outside while I’m away. When I’m home, he shows little interest in going out, but becomes anxious once I leave. This is unusual for our typically independent Shiba. G has a history of food aggression, but has had no incidents in the past year with consistent supervision and care to help him feel safe around his food. He needs a patient home that understands his needs and can provide the support he deserves.
