CASHMERE's Story

He adores fetch, is very treat motivated, and already knows “sit.” He enjoys attention and leans in for affection, showing his sweet, social side. On walks, he can have a strong pull, so he would do best with an adopter who can provide structure and guidance. <br/><br/>Cashmere needs slow introductions to other dogs and would thrive with patient, experienced adopters. <br/><br/>He also has chronic allergies, ear infections, and skin sensitivities that require ongoing care, including medication, ear cleanings, and diet management. Future dental care may also be needed. An adopter willing to provide this care will be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion.<br/><br/> Cashmere comes with a medical waiver due to these conditions. 01/23/26 14:50 On Needs Rescue for visibility. 04/06/26 What I did today (3 sentences): <br/>Cashmere and his buddy enjoyed a leisurely 21⁄2-mile walk with <br/>plenty of breaks along the way. During break time, Cashmere loved<br/>lying in the sun, playing with his toys, and soaking up lots of pets.<br/> He was a true gentleman throughout the outing and remained<br/> completely unfazed by joggers, cyclists, and even other dogs during <br/>their morning walk. <br/>What to know about this dog: <br/>• Rides well in the car and enjoys outings <br/>• Gentle, polite, and well-mannered in public settings <br/>• Calm and unbothered by new sights, sounds, or other dogs<br/> • Loves toys, treats, and positive attention <br/>Three words to describe me:<br/> Loving, Polite, Gentleman<br/><br/><br/> 03/03/26 Today was my very first tails and Trails! I wish I’d known about<br/> these sooner! I met me new friend and got into my gear very nicely, <br/>then I jumped into her car and rode like a good boy! We went to a <br/>big park and we walked all over, even around a lake! I liked<br/> observing everything and of course I checked all the park messages <br/>and replied! I am very snuggly, so we cuddled when we stopped for<br/> water breaks and we hung out and watched some people and bikes, <br/>too. I met several dogs and even said Hi to a few who were at a dog<br/>park!<br/> What should potential adopters know about me: Cashmere is just<br/> like his name: soft, gentle, and pure class! He was such a good boy<br/> when we walked by a dog park! We ran into a shelter pal to chat with<br/>and he sat like a perfect gentleman while we chatted and said “Hi” <br/>to a few of the dogs through the fence. On leash he is very easy to<br/> walk. He does like to check messages and add to conversations as he<br/> goes ?? When we saw ducks and geese at the lake, he was curious<br/>but did not pull or get overly excited. This beautiful boy would be an <br/>amazing addition to a family!<br/> Three words to describe me: Gentle, Affectionate, Calm<br/><br/><br/> 01/06/26 16:53 Easy out, hesitates to go back in kennel. Can have pretty strong pull and good amount of energy for a big boy. Loves fetch, knows sit and very treat motivated, allowed handling and leaned in. Needs slow introduction with other dogs. Chronic allergies that have improved in shelter on diet, apoquel, and frequent ear treatments. May maintain on diet alone once ear infection resolved but due to intensity of care- need urgent rescue.
