About Cashew ~ 11 year old Chihuahua (on trial 11/5/19)
Hi! My name is Cashew, Cash to my friends. I’m an 11 year old Chihuahua and I love people. If you want a constant companion to spend time with you then I’m your boy! I love my humans, does not matter if you are pottering in the garden or sitting on the lounge, cooking dinner in the kitchen, I’ll never be far away.
I really don’t like being left alone for long periods of time, so my ideal home would be a family with an at home worker or a semi or retired family. I love my walks, but they have to be gentle as I have a heart condition which will require medication for the rest of my life. This won’t slow me down, so you will have to be my guardian angel and make sure I don’t overdo it.
I love car rides and walks on the beach, but like some other little dogs, I don’t really like bigger dogs that much, they can scare me. My foster mum thinks that I am best suited to an only dog home, but if you have an existing friend, then we are open to meeting them. I can tend to get a bit possessive with my humans so my foster mum would need to ensure that I don’t compete for attention with any potential brothers or sisters.
I sleep inside, on your bed, I don't think this is negotiable in my mind. I’m the best snuggler ever!! I am toilet trained, but best to remind me to go to the toilet, my foster mum takes me outside during the day and before we go to bed.
I will warn you if someone is near your property but I’m not an excessive barker.
Only the very best of homes will be selected for Cashew, so if you think you can offer him warm caring home, full of hugs, snuggles and kisses, please complete our adoption application and email this to his carer, Joanne on designer.stable@bigpond.com

(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
