Cashew

Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Cashew,  She is a 2-year-old Pointer/Beagle mix.  Cashew has a short hair coat and was found as a stray.  She weighs 45lbs. Cashew is just a wonderful dog.  She will make a great family pet.  She loves people, including the vets and other dogs.  We have not heard Cashew bark yet so we can attest to her being a very quiet dog.  She has more pointer than beagle in her.  She does not follow her nose and her recall is very good.  Cashew is great with all-size dogs and enjoys their company.  We do not know if she is good with cats so are seeking a cat-free home.  Cashew has a huge appetite so it is important to measure out her food twice daily.  She currently eats 1 cup twice daily.    This gal has not shown any chewing or destructive behaviour.  What she can do with ease is jump over gates.  She can clear 3 feet wooden fence with ease.  For this reason, she will require a 6-foot high wooden fencing in her yard.  Cashew is gentle and friendly and takes treats very nicely.  She was fostered the first week with a family with children and was excellent.  She rides well in the car.  She will require more leash work but loves to go anywhere with her family.  She is a minimum shedding dog.  The ideal home for this sweet gal is one where she gets to be involved with family activities on a regular basis both indoor and outdoor.   Due to how good she is with other dogs, the practice of continued socialization must occur.  This is a trait you don't want her to lose.  One must love and allow for lots of doggie kisses and hugs. Cashew is spayed, up to date with vaccines and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention.  Her 4 dx test revealed a positive diagnosis for Lyme disease so she is on a course of 28 days of doxycycline and then she is done with the treatment. A fully fenced yard with a minimum of 6-foot high fencing, a cat-free home, and a Veterinarian History of Compliance is mandatory to apply for our Cashew.
