Cashew is a two year old, nine pound adorable dog who walks well on a leash, is house trained, and is a well mannered young Chihuahua.

 

Cashew is having fun in a loving foster home with a foster family who understands and loves shy dogs. He is getting the time and space he needs to decompress and begin to trust the world again.  When Cashew warms up and is feeling safe and comfortable, he's so much fun! He likes to sit on your lap and keep you company.  When he's feeling playful, he can make the cutest little puppy sounds!  Cashew will do best in a home with  people who can read his canine body signals, and who can be patient and willing to take it slow until he gains trust. He really tries to push himself to explore.

 

Cashew can be shy and sometimes fearful dog who has had difficulties coming out of his shell. Luckily, with his foster, he's gaining confidence and learning to be more and more brave as he starts to feel safe, which is made easier thanks to his foster sibling, a gentle Labrador.
