Aster nka Cash

From past family: Cash is such a sweet boy who loves being outside in the sunshine, chewing bones, and playing fetch. Hewould be the perfect addition to an active family who loves taking walks and being outside! He knows how to sit, lay down, wait patiently until given the "ok" to eat, is crate trained (sleeping 10 hours at night), and has mastered going potty outside. He would do best in a family without very small children, as he doesn't know his own strength and can knock them down. He has a big heart to share with the perfect family.Cash was adopted as a puppy, but was recently surrendered due to expecting a baby and Cash having shown some herding behaviors.From past foster: Say hello to our superstar foster pup Aster! This little genius already knows 'sit' and is acing his potty training-he's a pro at going outside or using puppy pads when needed. He snoozes like a champ all night in his kennel without a peep. Walking him is a breeze; he's a leash-walking dream! This cuddle bug loves to nap on your lap, though we're gently teaching him that laps aren't always for lounging. He's a quick learner and has adorable puppy manners, especially when other dogs give him a nudge in the right direction. Great with kids and eager to learn, he just wants to be with his people. Unlike most puppies, he's truly unique with his calm and thoughtful demeanor, often sitting back to watch faces and all the happenings around him. But don't be fooled-he gets the zoomies, and it's absolutely adorable to watch! This sweet boy is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and home!This pup was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/ Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed. A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability-how well dogs respond to human direction-was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
