Name: Cash
Breed Guess: Miniature Pinscher
Age: 9 years old
Gender: Neutered Male
Weight: approx. 15-20lbs
Adoption fee: $195

Am I good with:
Children: No
Cats: Kinda - if they give him space and leave him alone, he will correct them
Dogs: Kinda, he must be the dominant dog, he is not the best with other small dogs, better with one bigger submissive dog (Meet and Greet Required)

About me: Cash is a small dog with a big story, and an even bigger heart for the person who earns his trust. After spending nine years in the same home with very little socialization, his world was turned upside down when he lost his family. In foster care, Cash has been learning what it means to be part of a loving home again. He lives with a larger, submissive dog and generally does well, though he can resource guard, so toys and treats are kept put away, and mealtimes are separate. He also lives with cats, he’s made peace with them, though he’ll let them know when they’re too close for comfort.

Cash doesn’t warm up to strangers right away and can be especially cautious with men. That said, he does beautifully with gentle, dog-savvy men who respect his boundaries and communicate calmly after given a few days to warm up. He does need at least one women in his forever home to bond with, he has yet to bond with a man over a woman. He’s an incredibly smart boy who knows many tricks, loves treats, and walks well on a harness. Cash enjoys going for walks as long as strangers keep their hands to themselves, he doesn’t like hands reaching toward his face and may nip if startled or uncomfortable.

He’s potty trained when kept on a good routine, but the crate is still a work in progress; he’ll need continued help learning it’s not such a scary place. Cash isn’t the kind of dog who gives his heart easily, but once he does, his loyalty and love run deep. There’s so much more to this little guy’s story, so if you think you could be the person to truly understand him, please fill out an application and we’ll connect you with his foster for all the details.

This dog has been at the ARP since 6/9/25

The Animal Rescue Project (www.animalrescueproject.org) is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed.

Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet.

Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible.

All dogs and puppies are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medication to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and ticks they may have. Dogs greater than six months of age are checked for heartworm. If heartworm positive, the Animal Rescue Project treats the disease. Dogs and pups receive all age-appropriate vaccinations for distemper, and dogs greater than four months of age are also vaccinated for rabies, in compliance with State of Michigan laws. All dogs are also microchipped.

Most dogs and older puppies are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of puppies not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization.

The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.
