Cash
Hello, my name is Cash. My animal id is #12588. I am a male white dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 14-Nov-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving – no pets allowed.
Cash is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Cash is suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: CASH must stand for Cute, Athletic, Sophisticated and Happy! He’s an adorabull senior guy who undoubtedly still has a zest for life. He loves to play fetch and I have to admit he surprised me with his skills! He’s playful at times, but while younger, less seasoned dogs seem to be bouncing off the walls of their kennels, Cash is calm and cool, patiently waiting his turn for a walk. While his former owner states that he has accidents, he’s managed to keep his kennel clean at the center and does his business quickly outside. Cash has lived with kids of all ages and has proven to be respectful of them. He has also spent time with other dogs and is “relaxed and playful.” Cash may not be an acronym at all, more likely his name is is representative of how rich you’ll feel when you adopt him. Ask to meet him today!

Recommendations comments:: Due to Cash’s response to some of the SAFER handling items, we feel he may be intimidated by small children.
Potential challenges: : House soiling
Potential challenges comments:: Cash is reported to have frequent accidents in the house, and appears not to have been housetrained in the past. He will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside (treats, toys, games), consistent feeding schedule, and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse.
