Johnny Cash

Meet Johnny Cash, the Man in Black himself! Johnny is a sensitive guy who's doing his best to turn his life's struggles into beautiful songs. Johnny will go home with a fabulous THREE MONTH SUPPLY CARE PACKAGE that includes his medications. Johnny Cash is also sponsored by our partners at Kennel to Couch, so his adopter will receive an incredible, free "pibble package" of supplies and resources (see the full package details at: https://kenneltocouch.org/pitbull-adoption/)!<br/><br/>Johnny Cash is looking for a family of like-minded homebodies who appreciate his sweet, introverted qualities. He's a gentle soul who looks to his humans for reassurance and takes his time warming up to new people. Once he's comfortable, his foster parents describe him as a goofy, snuggly baby with the most soulful puppy dog eyes (you can see those in action here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bj45xkGyf/)! Johnny's favorite place is curled up on the sofa, where he will gladly snooze the day away. <br/><br/>One of Johnny's most endearing qualities is his curiosity. Johnny can be shy and afraid of a lot of things (including the wind), but given time to adapt to his surroundings, he methodically explores the world little by little. You can see him slowly push out of his comfort zone, pause to build up more courage, and then continue to explore his world at his own pace. <br/><br/>Johnny also adores his toys, cuddling up to them in a pile when he sleeps (even his hard chew bones)! He gets excited for indoor activities to keep his brain busy like food puzzles and snuffle mats, or practicing training (he knows sit, down, come, and touch). He also loves wrapping his favorite toys in his own blankets. He will let you know when he wants something with cute little piglet grunts and nudges.<br/><br/>Because Johnny experiences anxiety and is more fearful than the average dog, he is on special medications that have helped him feel more comfortable in his own skin. It's important for an adopter to plan to continue his care and medication under the guidance of a veterinary behaviorist and a certified, rewards-based dog trainer. Johnny also has an ongoing skin issue that we are treating, and an adopter would need to plan to continue treatment as needed.<br/><br/>We're still learning more about how Johnny would feel about living with other animals, but he has really enjoyed spending time with other dogs (see more here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/183rxD6Gto/), and we're optimistic that he would do well with a confident and patient buddy to encourage him to come out of his shell a bit more. Johnny would appreciate a home without young children because they tend to overwhelm him. A yard would also be a big plus for this guy, since city streets can be overwhelming. <br/><br/>Please email us at adoptions@phillypaws.org to learn more about this special boy.

We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dog is currently located in a PAWS foster home. In order to meet with any dogs in foster care, you will need to have a fully processed and approved application first.
