Story
Meet Cash! Cash is a 10 year old Vizsla/Terrier mix. He's loyal and incredibly smart! A Velcro dog who lives for his people. Once you’re “his,” you’re his, and he’ll gladly follow you from room to room, keeping a quiet eye on everything and everyone. He’s deeply devoted, sensitive, and sweet, and truly thrives on companionship. If you’re looking for a best friend who will always be by your side, Cash is your guy. When Cash first came to us, he wasn’t in great shape. It didn’t take long for us to pinpoint the cause. Hypothyroidism. With proper care and an inexpensive daily medication, his thyroid levels are now well managed, and Cash is feeling and looking better than ever. His transformation has been incredible, and he’s truly thriving. Cash is a quieter soul indoors, but when he heads outside, he takes his job seriously—doing a quick perimeter check before proudly announcing that all is well. He loves long walks and adventures (followed by a very well-earned nap), car rides, Kongs, tug-of-war, tennis balls he can proudly destroy, and all the butt scratches. At night, he’ll politely let you know it’s bedtime by alerting you to his dog bed in the bedroom. No human beds for this gentleman, he prefers it this way. Once Cash is comfortable, his personality really shines. He prances with excitement when it’s time to eat, steals soft blankets to make the coziest nest imaginable, and snores loudly while sleeping when his people are away. He’s potty trained, neutered, and knows how to quietly ask to go outside, sometimes with a gentle lick if it’s urgent. Cash can be a bit reserved when meeting new people in his home and needs time to warm up. You have to be invited into his circle (which doesn't take much, really). That said, when he’s out and about, he absolutely loves people and greets strangers with tail wags and joy. He’s protective of his family but has never shown aggression, even when scared. Loud noises make him uneasy, and he prefers a calmer environment. Cash does well with other dogs and has shown no interest in cats when encountering them on walks. However, he is territorial with food, toys, and bones, so he will need to be fed and given high-value items separately. We are actively working on sharing and polite play, but management will be important in his forever home. Cash’s ideal home would be a family who is around most of the time, with someone who works from home or isn’t gone for long hours. He would do best as an only dog or with one very calm, easygoing dog. A fenced yard is a must, along with daily walks (weather permitting—Cash is not a fan of Winter) and playtime. He’d love a home with older kids who understand boundaries and a quieter household...(he LOVES kids) and, of course, unlimited soft blankets to steal. Cash is loyal, gentle, and endlessly loving once he feels safe. He’s overcome so much and is ready to give his whole heart to the right family. Cash is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, dewormed, and microchipped. Applications to meet Cash can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs
